.SH "NAME"
kalign \- performs multiple alignment of biological sequences.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBKalign\fR
is a command line tool to perform multiple alignment of biological sequences\&. It employs the Muth?Manber string\-matching algorithm, to improve both the accuracy and speed of the alignment\&. It uses global, progressive alignment approach, enriched by employing an approximate string\-matching algorithm to calculate sequence distances and by incorporating local matches into the otherwise global alignment\&.
