What is Jalview?
Jalview is a multiple alignment editor written in Java. It is used widely in a variety of web pages (e.g. the EBI Clustalw server and the Pfam protein domain database) but is available as a general purpose alignment editor.

Jalview development has been funded for three years from 1st October 2004 by the BBSRC as part of the "VAMSAS" Project. This project is coordinated by Geoff Barton at the University of Dundee with partners at EBI and BioSS and consultancy (blessing :-) from Michele Clamp; the originator of Jalview.
