4SALE

4SALE is a tool for the asynchronous alignment of RNA secondary structures. 4SALE has a graphical interface written in Java, provides synchronous editing of the sequence alignments and secondary structures, and direct access to the ITS2 Database. The features include the ability to select multiple sections of an alignment, highlighting of sequence-motifs by pattern matching, visualization of sequence information using sequence logos or bars, and reordering of sequences.
