## What is Phylomena?

Phylomena is a fast, local-first multiple sequence alignment viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad.
Open biological sequence files directly from Files, inspect DNA, RNA, and protein alignments, navigate large datasets smoothly, search sequences and motifs, and make manual corrections on your device.
Supported formats: FASTA, PHYLIP, NEXUS, CLUSTAL, Stockholm, and GenBank. Phylomena detects the format from the file contents, so you do not need to choose a parser or convert files first. 
Features include residue coloring, sequence and site coordinates, pinch zoom, sequence search, motif search, editing, undo/redo, and export to FASTA, PHYLIP, NEXUS, CLUSTAL, or Stockholm.  
Phylomena works offline, requires no account, and does not upload your biological sequence data to Phylomena servers.
