SEAVIEW(1) Seaview Manual SEAVIEW(1) NAME seaview - a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. SYNOPSIS seaview [filename] DESCRIPTION seaview is the program that starts the SeaView GUI. SeaView is a graphical interface for multiple sequence alignment and molec- ular phylogeny. It is able to read various alignment formats (MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, NEXUS) and the Newick tree format, and allows one to manually edit the alignment, to run DOT-PLOT, CLUSTAL or MUSCLE programs to locally improve the alignment, and also to compute, draw and edit phyloge- netic trees. If started from the command line with filename as an argument, seaview will open the alignment or tree stored in filename and display/draw it on screen. Filename can be in any of the mase, clustal, phylip, msf, fasta, or nexus alignment formats or in the Newick tree format. OPTIONS -fast Suppresses double buffering for display. This should only accelerate display on very slow systems. -fontsize n Sets the font size to n. FILES $HOME/.seaviewrc holds the user's configuration for SeaView. SEE ALSO The program is fully documented online. Press the "help" button in the main window. On Debian systems, the text template for SeaView's help can be found in /usr/share/doc/seaview/seaview.html. Two multiple alignment programs can be called from whithin SeaView: mus- cle(1) and clustalw(1). The home page of SeaView is http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/software/seav- iew.html. SeaView usees some components of the PHYLIP package, see `http://evolu- tion.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html'.
