  Description     : Partial Order Alignment for multiple sequence alignment

 POA is Partial Order Alignment, a fast program for multiple sequence
 alignment (MSA) in bioinformatics. Its advantages are speed,
 scalability, sensitivity, and the superior ability to handle branching
 / indels in the alignment. Partial order alignment is an approach to
 MSA, which can be combined with existing methods such as progressive
 alignment. POA optimally aligns a pair of MSAs and which therefore can
 be applied directly to progressive alignment methods such as CLUSTAL.
 For large alignments, Progressive POA is 10–30 times faster than
 CLUSTALW. POA is published in Bioinformatics. 2004 Jul
 10;20(10):1546-56.
