Abstract

Summary: The submission of multiple sequence alignment data to EMBL has grown 30-fold in the past 10 years, creating a problem of archiving them. The EBI has developed a new public database of multiple sequence alignments called EMBL-Align. It has a dedicated web-based submission tool, Webin-Align. Together they represent a comprehensive data management solution for alignment data. Webin-Align accepts all the common alignment formats and can display data in CLUSTALW format as well as a new standard EMBL-Align flat file format. The alignments are stored in the EMBL-Align database and can be queried from the EBI SRS (Sequence Retrieval System) server.
