TeXshade v1.28 >> >> A LaTeX package for setting nucleotide and peptide alignments. >> >> Setting alignments of nucleotides and peptides for publication >> or presentation purposes is usually a time consuming two-step >> process. First, a scientific software is used for the calcula- >> tion of the alignment. This is done in a few minutes. Then, in >> order to highlight special sequence relationships and to label >> positions and regions of interest a second software with high >> output capability is needed. >> >> Manipulating sequence alignments with standard word processing >> or graphics programs takes its time--often several hours--and >> simple layout changes such as re-breaking lines, say from 50 >> to 40 residues per line, elongate the working time considerab- >> ly. >> >> TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written >> in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in >> the MSF, ALN and FASTA 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 colors, text styles, labels, >> legends and even allows the user to define completely new sha- >> ding modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the >> habitual TeX output quality--with reasonable time expenditure. >> Copyright (C) 1999 - 2024 Eric Beitz 1 - FILES DISTRIBUTED WITH THIS PACKAGE texshade.ins Batch file, run through LaTeX texshade.dtx Docstrip archive, run twice through LaTeX README This file (a) FILES THAT WILL BE GENERATED BY RUNNING TEXSHADE.INS texshade.sty LaTeX package texshade.def Standard definitions AQPDNA.MSF Example nucleotide alignment file (MSF-format) AQPpro.MSF Example protein alignment file (MSF-format) AQP_TC.asc Example T-Coffee shading file AQP2spec.ALN Example protein alignment file (ALN-format) AQP1.top Example topology data file generated from PHD AQP1.phd Example PHD secondary structure file AQP1_HMM.sgl Example HMMTOP topology data (single line format) AQP1_HMM.ext Example HMMTOP topology data (extended format) AQP_sequence_logo_1FX8.cmd Example structure meme file AQP_subfamily_logo_1FX8.cmd Example structure meme file meme.eps Meme output graphics example Standard.cod Standard genetic code definitions Ciliate.cod Ciliate macronuclear genetic code definitions (b) FILE THAT WILL BE GENERATED BY RUNNING TEXSHADE.DTX texshade.dvi Package documentation or texshade.pdf Package documentation 2 - INSTALLATION (a) EXTRACTING FILES FROM THE DOCSTRIP ARCHIVE All files provided by TeXshade are compacted to one single file, namely "texshade.dtx". To extract the archive run "texshade.ins" - which contains the corresponding instructions - through LaTeX. A list of the generated files is given above, see 1(a). (b) THE DOCUMENTATION The file "texshade.dtx" further contains the package documentation. Therefore, run this file through LaTeX now. As you will recognize two runs are needed to make proper references within the document. TeXshade needs lots of TeX's memory, so adjust your parameter set- tings to make TeXshade feel comfortable. The documentation is a good test for this. TeXshade makes use of "color.sty" by David Carlisle. This style is part of the Standard LaTeX Graphics Bundle. Usually, the bundle is present in a comprehensive LaTeX installation. If this is not the case for your system you have to download the package from a CTAN- server, e.g. ftp.dante.de. (c) MAKING TEXSHADE.STY AVAILABLE FOR YOUR LATEX SYSTEM In the final step, copy at least the files "texshade.sty" and "ciliate.cod" to a directory searched by TeX in order to make these files available for all documents you'll produce in the future. The remaining files are example files which are not necessary for run- ning TeXshade. Nevertheless, it would be a good idea to keep all the files together. 3 - CONTACT E-Mail: ebeitz@pharmazie.uni-kiel.de WWW: https://www.pharmazie.uni-kiel.de/en/pharmceitica/ prof-dr-eric-beitz Address: Eric Beitz, University of Kiel, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Gutenbergstrasse 76, D-24118 Kiel (Germany) 4 - AGREEMENT This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
