Introduction
Clustal X is an advanced program that deals with multiple sequence alignment for proteins and DNA. Designed as a GUI for ClustalW, the program carries out in-depth sequence analysis, while also. Clustal X is a windows interface for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program. It provides an integrated environment for performing multiple sequence and profile alignments and analysing the results. The sequence alignment is displayed in a window on the screen. A versatile coloring scheme has been incorporated allowing you to highlight. Mar 19, 2009 Clustal X help to the Bioinformatics candidate to predicts the Multiple Sequence Alignment and Phylogenetic Analysis for given a nuber of Gene Sequences of varrious organism,and find the evolutionary relationship.
Clustal X is essentially the same program as Clustal W. It is a program designed to compute the alignment of multiple sequences of genetic or protein data. This program uses a GUI to work with the program as opposed to Clustal W, which just uses the command line as an interface.

- Clustal X Colour Scheme This is an emulation of the default colourscheme used for alignments in Clustal X, a graphical interface for the ClustalW multiple sequence alignment program. Each residue in the alignment is assigned a colour if the amino acid profile of the alignment at that position meets some minimum criteria specific for the residue.
Using Clustal X on RCC Resources
Clustal X, much like its sister program Clustal W, does not require a module to be loaded in order to run. Clustal X is the GUI version of Clustal W so it is primarily designed to be an interactive program. In order to start the GUI for Clustal X, simply run clustalx from the command line and the GUI will start.
A free and open-source general purpose multiple sequence alignment program that enables you to perform profile alignments or phylogenetic trees

What's new in ClustalX 2.1:
- Fixed bug 196 'clustalx: user feedback about use of secondary structure printed to console' - secondary structure is now used if specified in Alignment -> Alignment Parameters -> Secondary Structure Parameters UserParameters->getGui() should be used when ClustalW code needs to know if a function has been called from ClustalX
- Fixed bug 204 'Nexus alignment format contain invalid line' - the amino acid alphabet line has been removed
- Missing/corrupted file names in ClustalX status messages have been fixed
- Fixed bug 175 'msf/pileup files cannot be read if sequences names are all numbers' - this happened if a line such as 528244 .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... was present in the first block of the file
ClustalX is a streamlined OS X utility that provides the necessary tools to align DNA or protein sequences from within a user-friendly interface or a Terminal window.
ClustalX comes with support for numerous input formats, such as GDE, FASTA, NBRF/PIR, GCG9 RSF, Clustal, GCC/MSF and EMBL/Swiss-Prot.
In order to use ClustalX, you have to place each sequence in one file and arrange them one after another.
ClustalX's intuitive interface enables you to perform profile alignments, phylogenetic trees and multiple alignment in just a few easy steps.
From the Edit menu you can easily search for a String, remove gaps, clear sequences or range selections and switch between profiles.
By accessing the Alignment menu, you can easily align the sequences to the desired profile and open the Output Format Option window.
ClustalX also allows you to export to the NEXUS, Clustral, GDE, GCG/MSF and NBRF/PIR format.
In addition, ClustalX enables its users to choose between existing color sets or load a color parameter file with just a mouse click.
On top of that, users who are more comfortable performing all aforementioned tasks from a Terminal window, can download and use ClustalW.
Users that are interested in more advanced features like using secondary structures for profile alignment can use the 'Using ClustalX for multiple sequence' tutorial created by by Jarno Tuimala.
