Dear Tanguy, probalign can align DNA and protein sequences. It is a frequent request on this list to add more information in the synopsis so that readers can know what kind of sequence is aligned, without any other information like the long description, Debtags or the package's section. But we only have 80 characters to for the synopsis… Here are synopsis for other multiple sequence alignment programs: boxshade - Pretty-printing of multiple sequence alignments dialign-tx - Segment-based multiple sequence alignment dialign - Segment-based multiple sequence alignment kalign - Global and progressive multiple sequence alignment mafft - Multiple alignment program for amino acid or nucleotide sequences mummer - Efficient sequence alignment of full genomes muscle - Multiple alignment program of protein sequences poa - Partial Order Alignment for multiple sequence alignment probcons - PROBabilistic CONSistency-based multiple sequence alignment proda - multiple alignment of protein sequences sigma-align - Simple greedy multiple alignment of non-coding DNA sequences In general, we try to reproduce the upstream short description. This is the case for probalign. Unless this is causing significant confusion, like mislead users from other fields wasting their time installing bioinformatics package, I would recommend to keep the short description as it is.
