Summary description: Package for setting nucleotide and peptide alignments
Announcement text:
Update (v1.29) of the TeXshade nucleotide and protein alignment macro package. This version adds a new shading mode for displaying single sequences, and a re-work of the bar graphs and color scales feature. Now, stacked bars can be displayed, e.g. from calculations of local frustration data derived from 3D protein structures.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/texshade The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/texshade/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

texshade – Package for setting nucleotide and peptide alignments
TeXshade is alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX; it can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file formats. In addition to common shading algorithms, it provides special shading modes showing functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a wide range of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends; it even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility with TeX output quality — all in a bundle that does not demand excessive development time of the user.
