A treatable interface for MTRAP sequence alignment method

Abstract

In the last ISABEL, we showed a high quality sequence alignment method called MTRAP. Although there exists a need for high quality alignment, a treatable alignment software, as typified by ClustalW, is also essential for the analysis estimating the function of gene or to seek mechanism of molecular interactions. In this paper, we develop a new treatable interface software for the MTRAP alignment. Moreover, we show that the alignment accuracy could be improved by our approach not only for pairwise sequences but also multiple sequences.
