v1.6 [Nov 25, 2015]
• This release comes with a completely revamped version of the multiple sequence alignment tool, AlignX.
• A single algorithm is now used for alignment using the latest release of ClustalW v2.1 multiple sequence alignment algorithm
• Cleaner layout with improved analysis plots and phylogenetic tree rendering
• Expandable panels for analysis plots, phylogenetic tree and alignment sequence panes
• More responsive sequence alignment pane with support for colored residue properties
• Hovering on nucleotides display tooltips show similarity and identity positions with nucleotide location on the original sequence
• Added support for updating alignment properties such as residue fraction and automatic consensus recalculation that react with these property changes
• Features copying of analysis plots, phylogenetic tree and alignment sequence view to clip board
• Supports printing of plots, tree and alignment sequences
• Support for searching nucleotide sequences in the alignment
- Alignment can now be edited by shifting bases forwards and backwards
- Sequences can now be copied over to clipboard or sent for blast search, contig assembly, or simply saving them as molecules
- You can now remove sequences for alignment and have the tool recalculate the consensus
- Support for saving to the database has been removed but can be saved to a more structured data file for better portability
- User will be able to open the existing project saved in database from previous version, fragments will be displayed. User shall execute with latest ClustalW v2.1 for alignment.
