+Pkg-Description: multiple genome alignment algorithms
+ The mauveAligner and progressiveMauve alignment algorithms have been
+ implemented as command-line programs included with the downloadable Mauve
+ software.  When run from the command-line, these programs provide options
+ not yet available in the graphical interface.
+ .
+ Mauve is a system for efficiently constructing multiple genome alignments
+ in the presence of large-scale evolutionary events such as rearrangement
+ and inversion. Multiple genome alignment provides a basis for research
+ into comparative genomics and the study of evolutionary dynamics.  Aligning
+ whole genomes is a fundamentally different problem than aligning short
+ sequences.
+ .
+ Mauve has been developed with the idea that a multiple genome aligner
+ should require only modest computational resources. It employs algorithmic
+ techniques that scale well in the amount of sequence being aligned. For
+ example, a pair of Y. pestis genomes can be aligned in under a minute,
+ while a group of 9 divergent Enterobacterial genomes can be aligned in
+ a few hours.
+ .
+ Mauve computes and interactively visualizes genome sequence comparisons.
+ Using FastA or GenBank sequence data, Mauve constructs multiple genome
+ alignments that identify large-scale rearrangement, gene gain, gene loss,
+ indels, and nucleotide substutition.
+ .
+ Mauve is developed at the University of Wisconsin.
