BioEdit is a biological sequence alignment editor written for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/7.  An intuitive multiple document interface with convenient features  makes alignment and manipulation  of sequences relatively easy on your desktop computer.    Several sequence manipulation and analysis options and links to external analysis programs facilitate a working environment which allows you to view and manipulate sequences with simple point-and-click operations.   BioEdit's features include:                   New version is WinXP compatible  Several modes of hand alignment Automated ClustalW alignment Automated Blast searches (local and WWW) Plasmid drawing and annotation Accessory application configuration Restriction mapping RNA comparative analysis tools Graphical matrix data viewing tools Shaded alignment figures Translation-based nucleic acid alignment ABI trace viewing, editing and printing Customizable ... other features Note: BioEdit is no longer being maintained, and the documentation is out of date and no longer maintained.  BioEdit is free for use by any and all interested parties, but is supplied as is. Users must agree with the terms of the license. Note:  Scoring in pairwise alignment functions does not agree with the example in the help document.  This will be investigated if/when I have time.  I had considered removing the functions, but decided no to on the grounds that they generally work OK for quick manipulations and can be useful as a time-saving utility.  They should not, however, be used as a teaching tool.

Note for non-U.S. users of Windows 7:
Some people have experienced trouble creating and opening documents with Windows 7.
If you get an error saying “Error: setup of Alignment form”, followed by an error saying “’#.##’ is not a valid floating point value” (‘#.##’ will most likely be ‘0.85’), try downloading the latest version of BioEdit. If that does not work (or alternatively, if you do not want to bother downloading):
  1.   Open “BioEdit.ini” from within your BioEdit install directory (use Notepad).
  2.   Find the line that says “Spacing=#.##” (‘##.# will probably be ‘0.85’)
  3.   Change the ‘.’ To a ‘,’ and save the file, then relaunch BioEdit. .
