[Jalview-discuss] RNA Multiple sequence alignment

[Yanan Jiang]

Hi James,

I am doing RNA multiple sequence alignment and find Jalview is a very
handy tool. It seems to me that the programs (ClustalW, maffet and
muscle) implemented in Jalview only have the amino acids scoring
matrix.
But when I called these programs, they happened to align the RNA
sequences, except for muscle. Does it mean that Jalview can do RNA
sequence alignment? I'm also curious about whether jalview is friendly
to RNA or not.
Are there some research groups using Jalview for RNA study?

Thanks!
Yanan
