Description : Segment-based multiple sequence alignment
DIALIGN-T is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of protein or
DNA sequences. It is a complete reimplementation of the segment-base approach
including several new improvements and heuristics that significantly enhance
the quality of the output alignments compared to DIALIGN 2.2. For pairwise
alignment, DIALIGN-T uses a fragment-chaining algorithm that favours chains of
low-scoring local alignments over isolated high-scoring fragments. For
multiple alignment, DIALIGN-T uses an improved greedy procedure that is less
sensitive to spurious local sequence similarities. DIALIGN-T has been
published in Amarendran R. Subramanian, Jan Weyer-Menkhoff, Michael Kaufmann,
Burkhard Morgenstern: DIALIGN-T: An improved algorithm for segment-based
multiple sequence alignment. BMC Bioinformatics 2005, 6:66.
DIALIGN-T is needed by dm_coffee, a special mode of t_coffee prepared
especially for Debian, in which non-free alignment software was replaced by
free alternatives.
