Package: belvu (4.44.1+dfsg-6 and others)

multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool

Belvu is a multiple sequence alignment viewer and phylogenetic tool with an extensive set of user-configurable modes to color residues.

 * View multiple sequence alignments.
 * Residues can be coloured by conservation, with user-configurable
   cutoffs and colours.
 * Residues can be coloured by residue type (user-configurable).
 * Colour schemes can be imported or exported.
 * Swissprot (or PIR) entries can be fetched by double clicking.
 * The position in the alignment can be easily tracked.
 * Manual deletion of rows and columns.
 * Automatic editing of rows and columns based on customisable criteria:
    - removal of all-gap columns;
    - removal of all gaps;
    - removal of redundant sequences;
    - removal of a column by a user-specified percentage of gaps;
    - filtering of sequences by percent identity;
    - removal of sequences by a user-specified percentage of gaps;
    - removal of partial sequences (those starting or ending with
      gaps); and
    - removal of columns by conservation (with user-specified
      upper/lower cutoffs).
 * The alignment can be saved in Stockholm, Selex, MSF or FASTA format.
 * Distance matrices between sequences can be generated using a variety
   of distance metrics.
 * Distance matrices can be imported or exported.
 * Phylogenetic trees can be constructed based on various distance-based
   tree reconstruction algorithms.
 * Trees can be saved in New Hampshire format.
 * Belvu can perform bootstrap phylogenetic reconstruction.
