BoxShade Alternatives

BoxShade is described as 'Boxshade is a program for creating good-looking printouts from alignments of multiple protein or DNA sequences. The program does no alignment by itself, it takes as input a file preprocessed by a multiple alignment program or a multiple sequence editor, such as ClustalOmega' and is an app in the education & reference category. There are five alternatives to BoxShade for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Android apps. The best BoxShade alternative is BioEdit, which is free. Other great apps like BoxShade are UGENE, SnapGene Viewer, GenePad and Mendelgen.
