http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/server/

Software package as multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences. Can align up to 500 sequences or maximum file size of 1 MB. First version of MAFFT used algorithm based on progressive alignment, in which sequences were clustered with help of Fast Fourier Transform. Subsequent versions have added other algorithms and modes of operation, including options for faster alignment of large numbers of sequences, higher accuracy alignments, alignment of non-coding RNA sequences, and addition of new sequences to existing alignments.

https://github.com/MikkelSchubert/adapterremoval

Software program to remove residual adapter sequences from next generation sequencing reads. Used for cleaning of next-generation sequencing reads. AdapterRemoval v2 introduces improvements in throughput, through use of single instruction, multiple data (SIMD; SSE1 and SSE2) instructions and multi-threading support; handles datasets containing reads or read-pairs with different adapters or adapter pairs; provides simultaneous demultiplexing and adapter trimming; has ability to reconstruct adapter sequences from paired-end reads for poorly documented data sets; provides native gzip and bzip2 support.

http://fsa.sourceforge.net/

Software for a statistical multiple sequence alignment algorithm which uses a "distance-based" approach to align homologous protein, RNA or DNA sequences. The GUI, MAD (Multiple Alignment Display), can display the intermediate alignments produced by FSA, where each character is colored according to the probability that it is correctly aligned.
