help with DNA sequence analysis software

[Brian E Smith]

     It seems to me that there was a review of such programs published
     recently (last few years?), perhaps in Systematic Biology.  It also
     seems (although I've not moved my library up here yet) that some of
     these programs are discussed in Dave Hillis' book (Molecular
     Systematics).

     By the way, my kitchen thermometer read 35 below at 7:00 this morning.
     Must be nice living down south.

Soon I hope to have a number of legume DNA sequences that I would like to
compare.  I am aware of a mainframe software package (from Wisconsin, I
believe) that is designed to aline and compare sequences and produce
concensus sequences, etc.

I would like to obtain information on the availability of PC or MAC based
software programs that will aline and compare nucleic acid sequences and
produce concensus sequences.

If you have information about any software that can do this I would be
grateful if you would share this with me.
