CLOURE: Clustal Output Reformatter, a program for reformatting ClustalX/ClustalW outputs for SNP analysis and molecular systematics.
We describe a program (and a website) to reformat the ClustalX/ClustalW outputs to a format that is widely used in the presentation of sequence alignment data in SNP analysis and molecular systematic studies. This program, CLOURE, CLustal OUtput REformatter, takes the multiple sequence alignment file (nucleic acid or protein) generated from Clustal as input files. The CLOURE-D format presents the Clustal alignment in a format that highlights only the different nucleotides/residues relative to the first query sequence. The program has been written in Visual Basic and will run on a Windows platform. The downloadable program, as well as a web-based server which has also been developed, can be accessed at http://imtech.res.in/~anand/cloure.html.
