MOTIVATION: The program ESPript (Easy Sequencing in PostScript) allows the
rapid visualization, via PostScript output, of sequences aligned with
popular programs such as CLUSTAL-W or GCG PILEUP. It can read secondary
structure files (such as that created by the program DSSP) to produce a
synthesis of both sequence and structural information. RESULTS: ESPript can
be run via a command file or a friendly html-based user interface. The
program calculates an homology score by columns of residues and can sort
this calculation by groups of sequences. It offers a palette of markers to
highlight important regions in the alignment. ESPript can also paste
information on residue conservation into coordinate files, for subsequent
visualization with a graphics program. AVAILABILITY: ESPript can be
accessed on its Web site at http://www.ipbs.fr/ESPript. Sources and
helpfiles can be downloaded via anonymous ftp from ftp.ipbs.fr. A tar file
is held in the directory pub/ESPript.
