Clustal Omega

Clustal Omega

The original Clustal Omega tool for multiple protein sequence alignment. Clustal Omega is capable of aligning thousand of sequences and is an improvement of the previous version of Clustal, ClustalW and ClustalX, using HMMs, based on HHalign from Johannes Soeding. Clustal Omega also makes use of precomputed aligment information found in public databases.
