We have developed an alignment editor for protein sequences and/or nucleotide sequences that runs under the on X-window system. The system is equipped with automatical aligner and motif dictionary. The system can iteratively identify known motifs stored in the motif dictionary and gradually improve the quality of the alignment to discover new motifs.
