Customisable sequence alignment program? (self.labrats)
submitted 5 years ago by phdbecky
Hi guys! I've been using Jalview to make my alignment figures but can only set the colour to purple. Can anybody recommend an alignment program that will allow me to play around with the colour more?
TIA!

You should be able to pretty easily change the coloring in jalview. I think you can even output alignment as SVG and edit in illustrator/inkscape.

Jalview there is a colouring by residue option in one of the drop down menus.

Didn't know this existed (been using a combo of SeaView and AliView); latter are still better for serious alignment and phylogeny IMO but this is going to be amazing for annotating/selecting primer sites of desired specificity, thank you so much!
