Sequence alignment editors enable the user to manually edit a multiple sequence alignment (msa) in order to obtain a more reasonable or expected alignment. Editors allow sequences to be reordered and/or modified using the computer's cut and paste commands. They are designed to accept various msa formats and to provide the output file in a suitable user-designated format. Sequence formatters provide various output formatting options, such as color and shading schemes to enhance visualization of residue alignments. The formatters can output files in Postscript, EPS, RTF, and other widely recognized formats, while accepting the standard input formats, such as MSF, ALN, and FASTA. This article introduces a number of sequence alignment editors and formatters, and provides links to sites where they can be found.
序列比对编辑器允许用户手动编辑多序列比对（MSA），以获得更合理或预期的比对结果。编辑器允许使用计算机的剪切和粘贴命令对序列进行重新排序和/或修改。它们旨在接受各种MSA格式，并以用户指定的合适格式提供输出文件。序列格式化工具提供各种输出格式化选项，例如颜色和阴影方案，以增强残基比对的可视化效果。格式化工具可以输出Postscript、EPS、RTF等多种广泛认可格式的文件，同时接受标准输入格式，如MSF、ALN和FASTA。本文介绍了一些序列比对编辑器和格式化工具，并提供了可找到它们的网站链接。
