This volume is a collection of protocols to install and run tools for calculation and visualiza- tion of multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and other analyses related to MSA. Following the policy of Methods in Molecular Biology, each chapter basically consists of a brief back- ground and a step-by-step guide for installation and actual analyses. Practical advice is also given in the Notes section in most chapters. The main target audience is experimental biologists who want to run MSA tools themselves. By reading a chapter in this volume, a reader should easily acquire basic usage of the associated tool. Detailed background and advanced usage are described in papers and/or webpages mentioned in each chapter.
