SeaView
Version 4.2.3
NEW: seaview computes and draws parsimony, distance and PhyML phylogenetic trees
SeaView is a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny.
- SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP,
MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences and of phylogenetic trees.
- SeaView drives programs muscle or clustalw for multiple sequence alignment, and also allows to use any external alignment algorithm able to read and write FASTA-formatted files.
- SeaView computes phylogenetic trees by
- parsimony, using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm,
- distance, with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of evolutionary distances,
- maximum likelihood, driving program PhyML 3.0.
- SeaView draws phylogenetic trees on screen, PDF or PostScript files (and prints them with the Mac and MSWindows versions).
- SeaView allows to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt using the Internet.

Download SeaView
Note for Linux/Unix users:
The downloaded archives contain the seaview executable itself, an example data file, a .html file, and 3 other programs (muscle, clustalw, phyml) that seaview drives. These 3 programs and the .html file can either be left in the same directory as seaview, or be put in any directory of your PATH.
