+Kalign is a fast multiple sequence alignment program for biological
+sequences.
+
+Kalign expects the input to be a set of unaligned sequences in fasta
+format or aligned sequences in aligned fasta, MSF or clustal format. If
+the sequences are already aligned, kalign will remove all gap characters
+and re-align the sequences. By default, Kalign automatically detects
+whether the input sequences are protein or DNA and selects appropriate
+alignment parameters.
