title: QAlign: quality-based multiple alignments with dynamic phylogenetic analysis.
abstract: Integrating different alignment strategies, a layout editor and tools deriving phylogenetic trees in a 'multiple alignment environment' helps to investigate and enhance results of multiple sequence alignment by hand. QAlign combines algorithms for fast progressive and accurate simultaneous multiple alignment with a versatile editor and a dynamic phylogenetic analysis in a convenient graphical user interface.
