MView is a command line utility that extracts and reformats the results of a sequence database search or a multiple alignment, optionally adding HTML markup for web page layout. It can also be used as a filter to extract and convert searches or alignments to common formats.

Inputs: - Sequence database search: BLAST, FASTA suites. - Multiple sequence alignment: CLUSTAL, HSSP, MSF, FASTA, PIR, MAF.

Outputs: - HTML, FASTA, CLUSTAL, MSF, PIR, RDB (tab-separated).

The tool is used in molecular biology and biomedical research for data analyses and as a component in various bioinformatics web services. Research papers citing MView are indexed on Google Scholar.
