'''AMAP''' is a multiple sequence alignment program based on sequence annealing.<ref name="amap-paper">{{cite journal |last1=S. Schwartz |first1=A. |last2=Pachter |first2=L. |title=Multiple alignment by sequence annealing |journal=Bioinformatics |date=19 January 2007 |volume=23 |issue=2 |pages=e24–e29 |doi=10.1093/bioinformatics/btl311 |doi-access= }}</ref> This approach consists of building up the multiple alignment one match at a time, thereby circumventing many of the problems of progressive alignment. The AMAP parameters can be used to tune the sensitivity-specificity tradeoff.
The program can be used through the AMAP web server or as a standalone program which can be installed with the source code.
== Input/Output ==
This program accepts sequences in FASTA format.
The output format includes: FASTA format, Clustal.
