Look-Align: an interactive web-based multiple sequence alignment viewer with polymorphism analysis support.
We have developed Look-Align, an interactive web-based viewer to display pre-computed multiple sequence alignments. Although initially developed to support the visualization needs of the maize diversity website Panzea (http://www.panzea.org), the viewer is a generic stand-alone tool that can be easily integrated into other websites.


BACKGROUND
Look-Align is written in Perl using open-source components and is available under an open-source license. Live installation and download information can be found at the Panzea website (http://www.panzea.org/software/alignment_viewer.html).
