Title
msa: an R package for multiple sequence alignment
Abstract
Although the R platform and the add-on packages of the Bioconductor project are widely used in bioinformatics, the standard task of multiple sequence alignment has been neglected so far. The msa package, for the first time, provides a unified R interface to the popular multiple sequence alignment algorithms ClustalW, ClustalOmega and MUSCLE. The package requires no additional software and runs on all major platforms. Moreover, the msa package provides an R interface to the powerful (LTEX)-T-A package T(E)Xshade which allows for flexible and customizable plotting of multiple sequence alignments.
