Downloading MatGAT 2.02
MatGAT (Matrix Global Alignment Tool) is a simple, easy to use similarity/identity matrix generator. It calculates the similarity and identity between every pair of DNA or protein sequences in a given data set without needing pre-alignment of the data. The program performs a series of pair-wise alignments, calculates similarity and identity, and then places the results in a distance matrix.

Files must be plain text in the standard FASTA format with multiple sequence analysis if each has a FASTA title line starting with ">". Files of up to 100 DNA or protein sequences have been analyzed successfully using MatGAT. The user may specify which type of alignment matrix (BLOSUM, PAM, etc.) he may want to employ with his DNA or protein sequences.
MatGAT 2.0 now is able to directly transfer results over to MS Excel and create a spreadsheet with a single button click, it is also able to export all the individual alignments into a text file.
MatGat 2.03 latest Unix/Linux/Mac OS Version, fixes issues with MatGat 2.02 (Unix) MatGat 2.03(Unix, Linux or Max OS X) Aug-16-2004
New Unix updated version coming up on Aug -13 -2004
Issues with MatGat 2.02 unix verion, if the compilation and testing all went fine but during oper ation you get an error saying "More than one sequence needed for alignment", please add the align file that was created during the compilation into a directory that is contained in the path. Thanks John

(Minor bug fix 08/10/04 - During alignment matrix export on version 2.01 and
earlier the last column was not
exported, this version fixes this flaw. Thanks Aimee for pointing this out)

(bug fix 03/11/04 - Improper sequences alignment, if the combined length of a pair of sequences is larger than 12,000 characters. Only the alignment of these pair sequences is affected. The alignment of any other pair sequences whose combine length is less than 12,000 is NOT affected,
even though they may be aligned in a session that contains one or more pairs of sequences whose combined length exceeds 12,000)
