SeaView is a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny.
- SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF, CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences and of phylogenetic trees.
- SeaView drives programs muscle or Clustal Omega for multiple sequence alignment, and also allows to use any external alignment algorithm able to read and write FASTA-formatted files.
- Seaview drives the Gblocks program to select blocks of evolutionarily conserved sites.
- SeaView computes phylogenetic trees by
- parsimony, using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm,
- distance, with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of evolutionary distances,
- maximum likelihood, driving program PhyML 3.1.
- Seaview can use the Transfer Bootstrap Expectation method to compute the bootstrap support of PhyML and distance trees.
- Seaview uses the Treerecs method to reconcile gene and species trees.
- SeaView prints and draws phylogenetic trees on screen, SVG, PDF or PostScript files.
- SeaView allows to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt using the Internet.
