On Mon, 19 Feb 2007, 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 is a new release (v1.16) of TeXshade. It fixes problems with unusual residues names, such as `O' or `X' and introduces new commands for more flexibility with the ruler and for exporting the consensus shading colors as a pymol script for shading 3D protein models. Further, BioTeX, i.e. TeXshade and TeXtopo, have a new home, see README or documentation.
