On Mon, 9 Mar 2009 Eric Beitz submitted an update to the
texshade
package.
TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality—with reasonable time expenditure.

Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This latest update of TeXshade provides a function that I wanted to implement for a long time: one can now display not only a continuous sequence stretch but select residues individually to eliminate uninteresting positions. Selection can be either manually or based on the 3D coordinates of a PDB structure file. This way, residues within a given distance to a point, along a line, or above and below a plane can be shown or specially labeled. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
