Abstract
SummaryAlignmentViewer is multiple sequence alignment viewer for protein families with flexible visualization, analysis tools and links to protein family databases. It is directly accessible in web browsers without the need for software installation, as it is implemented in JavaScript, and does not require an internet connection to function. It can handle protein families with tens of thousands of sequences and is particularly suitable for evolutionary coupling analysis, facilitating the computation of protein 3D structures and the detection of functionally constrained interactions.\n\nAvailability and ImplementationAlignmentViewer is open source software under the MIT license. The viewer is at http://alignmentviewer.org and the source code, documentation and issue tracking, for co-development, are at https://github.com/dfci/alignmentviewer\n\nContactalignment.viewer@gmail.com, reaches all authors
