+AliView is yet another alignment viewer and editor, but this is
+probably one of the fastest and most intuitive to use. Features:
+
+- fast and light-weight
+- simple navigation, mouse-wheel zoom out and zoom in
+- highlight consensus characters or characters deviating
+- edit sequences/alignment (manually)
+- align, add and align automatically with any aligner of your choice
+- align new sequences to existing or realign all
+- realign a selected block
+- realign nucleotides as translated amino-acids
+- delete vertical gaps
+- undo/redo
+- find degenerate primers in conserved regions in an alignment
+- open and save in FASTA, NEXUS, PHYLIP, CLUSTAL or MSF format
+- print (current view)
+- export whole alignment as an image file (png-format)
+- copy selection (as fasta-sequences or just characters)
+- paste sequences (as sequences or filenames)
+- add more sequences from file
+- merge two sequences - and calculate consensus
+- translate (view) nucleotide sequences as amino-acid sequences
+- save translated alignment
+- read / preserve Codonpos, Charset and Excludes (Nexus-specification)
+- change Codonpos for selected regions (Nexus-specification)
+- drag-drop/remove of sequences/files
+- move sequences to top/bottom with key-stroke
+- a simple "external interface" that lets you invoke other programs
+- search function that finds patterns across gaps and follows IUPAC
+- search multiple sequence names at once (stored in clipboard)
+- reverse complement/reverse/complement sequences or whole alignment
+- different color schemes
+- sort sequences by name
+- sort sequences by residue in selected column
