SeaView

SeaView is a handy software tool made just for studying and analyzing sequence alignments and molecular phylogeny. It can read and write different file formats like NEXUS, MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, and Newick files.

Easy to Use on Any Device

This program is super easy to use because you don’t even need to install it like most software. You can run it directly from your computer or even from a USB flash drive! This means you can take it anywhere without messing with your Windows registry.

No Admin Needed!

One of the coolest things about portable tools like SeaView is that you don’t need admin rights to run them. Since they don’t leave any files or settings on the host computer, you can work freely!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface might not win any beauty contests, but it's practical and really easy to navigate. Plus, with drag-and-drop support, importing data from external files is a breeze!

Keyboard Shortcuts & Command-Line Support

You can zoom around your data using keyboard shortcuts or just click with your mouse to select items. And if you're into command-line tools, SeaView has got your back there too!

Connect to Databases

You can pull information from various databases like EMBL, GenBank, and SwissProt/UniProt along with the supported file formats mentioned earlier.

Export Your Work Easily

If you want to save your alignment work, you can do that in various formats including PDF. You get options for font style, block size, color changes—whatever helps you present your data best!

Edit Sequences with Ease

SeaView allows you to copy sequences to the clipboard or paste alignment data right where you need it. You can rename sequences or edit comments easily! Want more? You can also delete or create new sequences as needed.

Advanced Features for Power Users

This tool is packed with features like dot plot analysis and managing alignments across different groups of pre-aligned sequences. Plus, setting genetic codes for translating selected sequences into proteins has never been easier.

Create Phylogenetic Trees

You can compute and draw DNA or protein phylogenetic trees and save them for later use! If you're curious about comparing two sequences visually, SeaView has a dot plot analysis feature just for that.

SeaView truly stands out as an advanced program perfect for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny tasks—especially if you're a power user looking for an effective solution! For more details or to download SeaView, check out Softpas!
