16S rRNA Gene Sequence Aligner (Online)

Here's an online sequence aligner for 16S rRNA gene sequences that I heard about from Ruth Ley at the MBL workshop. It solves one of the problems with the ARB aligner - namely that the ends of the sequences are scattered all over the place and you have to manually adjust them.
The only downside is that this aligner aligns the sequences to other databases such as Phil Hugenholz's. Still, nice to avoid the problem with the ends.

    Thanks for the mention of the NAST aligner. We have plans to support other alignments in the near future such as the popular Ludwig alignment.
