SYNOPSIS

alter-sequence-alignment [option] [sequence]

DESCRIPTION

 ALTER (ALignment Transformation EnviRonment) is a tool to transform
 between multiple sequence alignment formats. ALTER focuses on the
 specifications of mainstream alignment and analysis programs rather than
 on the conversion among more or less specific formats.
