+SeaView is a multiplatform, graphical user interface for multiple
+sequence alignment and molecular phylogeny. Important features are:
+
+1) SeaView reads and writes various file formats (NEXUS, MSF,
+ CLUSTAL, FASTA, PHYLIP, MASE, Newick) of DNA and protein sequences
+ and of phylogenetic trees.
+
+2) SeaView drives programs muscle or clustalw for multiple sequence
+ alignment, and also allows to use any external alignment algorithm
+ able to read and write FASTA-formatted files.
+
+3) SeaView computes phylogenetic trees by
+ a) parsimony, using PHYLIP's dnapars/protpars algorithm,
+ b) distance, with NJ or BioNJ algorithms on a variety of
+ evolutionary distances,
+ c) maximum likelihood, driving program PhyML 3.0.
+
+4) SeaView draws phylogenetic trees on screen, PDF or PostScript files
+5) SeaView allows to download sequences from EMBL/GenBank/UniProt
+ using the Internet.

+
+Seaview requires fltk as a build depencency, but you need clustalw,
+PhyML and muscle, which SeaView drives. All of these are available at
+SlackBuilds.org.
