T-COFFEETool Content

http://www.tcoffee.org/

The T-COFFEE site includes links to a collection of tools for computing, evaluating, and manipulating multiple alignments of protein sequences and structures. T-COFFEE is a protein multiple sequence alignment tool for sequences with less than 30 percent identity. Expresso (or 3DCoffee) aligns sequences using structural information. M-Coffee is a meta-method for computing multiple sequence alignments by combining alternative alignment methods. Other algorithms provide RNA sequence alignment, and distantly related sequence alignment by homology extension. A consistency based multiple sequence alignment program has been added.
