  Description     : Global and progressive multiple sequence alignment

  Kalign is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of
  biological sequences. It employs the Wu-Manber string-matching
  algorithm, to improve both the accuracy and speed of the alignment.
  It uses global, progressive alignment approach, enriched by employing
  an approximate string-matching algorithm to calculate sequence
  distances and by incorporating local matches into the otherwise global
  alignment. In comparisons made by its authors, Kalign was about 10
  times faster than ClustalW and, depending on the alignment size, up to
  50 times faster than popular iterative methods. It has been published
  in Lassmann and Sonnhammer, BMC Bioinformatics 2005, 6:298.
