Clustal is a set of tools for multiple alignment of nucleic acid and protein sequences.
Clustal2
Clustal2 has two versions: ClustalW presents a command-line interface, and ClustalX provides a GUI.
Clustal Omega
Clustal Omega, or clustalo
, is the latest version of Clustal. It employs a new HMM alignment engine, resulting in greater accuracy. Clustal Omega is currently in beta, with a command-line interface and web server version only.
A full description of the algorithms used by Clustal Omega is available in Fast, scalable generation of high-quality protein multiple sequence alignments using Clustal Omega.
