    Abstract

    MOTIVATION: To allow a direct comparison of the genomic DNA sequences of sufficiently similar organisms, there is an urgent need for software tools that can align more than two genomic sequences. RESULTS: We developed new algorithms and a software tool 'Multiple Genome Aligner' (MGA for short) that efficiently computes multiple genome alignments of large, closely related DNA sequences. For example, it can align 85% percent of the complete genomes of six human adenoviruses (average length 35305 bp.) in 159 seconds. An alignment of 74% of the complete genomes of three of strains of E. coli (lengths: 5528445; 5498450; 4639221 approximately bp.) is produced in 30 minutes.
