+Exonerate: a generic tool for sequence alignment
+
+Exonerate is a generic tool for pairwise sequence comparison. It allows
+you to align sequences using a many alignment models, either exhaustive
+dynamic programming or a variety of heuristics.
+
+The Exonerate package comes with a selection of utilities for performing
+simple manipulations quickly on fasta files beyond 2Gb.
+
+Many of the algorithms in exonerate are described in:
+Slater GS and Birney E (2005) Automated generation of heuristics for
+biological sequence comparison. BMC Bioinformatics 6:31;
+doi: 10.1186/1471-2105-6-31
