* Please try FMALIGN @ NCBS

This server aligns two or more sequences by fixing sequentially conserved
region or motifs within the aligned sequences. By fixing conserved regions
this method allows flexibility and accuracy to the alignment. It also
provides conserved regions for a set of sequences which can be used for
FMALIGN.
