DNADynamos ClustalW Interface

Clustal W is free 'academically developed' software that performs multiple sequence alignments on DNA and Protein Sequences. You may be more familiar with ClustalX - A Graphical User Interface to the ClustalW software. ClustalW is usually packaged together with ClustalX in zipped downloads. Clustal is available for PC and OS X.

DNADynamo can send your sequences to ClustalW for alignment and display the ClustalW output files, conveniently integrating DNADynamo with ClustalW.

As DNADynamo does not come packaged with ClustalW, if you don't already have ClustalW on your computer, you may need to download a copy of ClustalW from the internet.

Make sure you download the appropriate clustalw file for your operating system !
