-The LAGAN Toolkit consists of four components: 
-
- CHAOS, a pairwise local aligner optimized for non-coding, and other
- poorly conserved regions of the genome.
- 
- LAGAN, a highly parametrizable pairwise global alignment using local
- alignments generated by CHAOS as anchors.
- 
- Multi-LAGAN, a progressive pairwise algorithm to produce multiple
- sequence alignments.
- 
- Shuffle-LAGAN, a novel glocal algorithm that is able to find
- rearrangements in a global alignment.

+The Lagan Tookit is a set of alignment programs for comparative
+genomics. The three main components are a pairwise aligner (LAGAN), a
+multiple aligner (M-LAGAN), and a glocal aligner (Shuffle-LAGAN). All
+three are based on the CHAOS local alignment tool and combine speed
+(regions up to several megabases can be aligned in minutes) with high
+accuracy. The results of the alignment can be visualized using the VISTA
+visualization tool.
