Hello Steve,

No, we don't offer a multiple alignment program.  We do support the 
display of multiple alignment custom tracks in the MAF format, and 
sometime next year, we'll have support for custom BAM tracks.

Here are a few multiple aligners you may want to look into.

We use multiz from the Miller lab to build our comparative genomic 
multiple alignments.

We're also collaborators with the developer of Muscle, Bob Edgar.

And finally, our very own Benedict Paten is the primary force behind Pecan.

Hopefully this information was helpful and answers your question. If you 
have further questions or require clarification feel free to contact the 
mailing list at [email protected].

Best regards,

Pauline Fujita
