ALTER: program-oriented conversion of DNA and protein alignments.

Daniel D Glez-Peña, Daniel D Gómez-Blanco, Miguel M Reboiro-Jato, Florentino F Fdez-Riverola, and David D Posada

(2010) PMID 20439312

ALTER is an open web-based tool to transform between different multiple sequence alignment formats. The originality of ALTER lies in the fact that it focuses on the specifications of mainstream alignment and analysis programs rather than on the conversion among more or less specific formats. In addition, ALTER is capable of identify and remove identical sequences during the transformation process. Besides its user-friendly environment, ALTER allows access to its functionalities in a programmatic way through a Representational State Transfer web service. ALTER's front-end and its API are freely available at http://sing.ei.uvigo.es/ALTER/ and http://sing.ei.uvigo.es/ALTER/api/, respectively.

    Compounds 5b, 5d, and 5e (40 and 80 μmol/L) caused significant decrease of A549 cell viability, while other 4 compounds had no effect on the cells. Compounds 5b, 5d, and 5e (80 μmol/L) induced G1-phase arrest (increased the G1 population by 22.6%, 24.23%, and 26.53%, respectively), and markedly inc...

    We hypothesized that the changes may be secondary to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which could be alleviated by either argirein or valsartan. Hepatosteatosis in diabetic liver was induced in rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks combined with a single low dose of stre...
