| BioEdit
is
a biological sequence alignment editor written for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
An intuitive multiple document interface with convenient features
makes alignment and manipulation of sequences relatively easy on
your desktop computer. Several sequence manipulation
and analysis options and links to external anaylsis programs facilitate
a working environment which allows you to view and manipulate sequences
with simple point-and-click operations. |

New version is WinXP compatible

Several modes of hand alignment
Automated ClustalW alignment
Automated Blast searches (local and WWW)

Note: Although BioEdit was recently updated, it is
no longer being reliably maintained, and the documentation
is out of date and no longer maintained. It is being updated slowly,
but there is no guaranteed finish date. Until documentation is complete,
play with the menus and see what happens, or email with a question.
Note: Scoring in pairwise
alignment functions does not agree with the example in the help document.
This will be investigated if/when I have time. I had considered removing
the functions, but decided no to on the grounds that they generally work
OK for quick manipulations and can be useful as a time-saving utility.
They should not, however, be used as a teaching tool. |
Note:
If you have trouble launching BioEdit on Windows NT, try replacing BioEdit.exe
with this version
