Summary: SEGID is a tool for finding conserved regions (regions of high scores) for a given (multiple) sequence alignment. It takes a (multiple) sequence alignment as its input and converts the alignment into a sequence of numbers, where each number is the alignment score of a column. Three algorithms are used to identify regions of high scores. A graphical interface is provided to present those identified regions.
