Vim Highlighting For Msa

Hi, is there a VIM file/script out there that would highlight a multiple sequence alignment appropriately, like in clustalx? I think it would be nice to quickly open an alignment on the command line and view it.

The read me file says :

README: Vim Align syntax

Version: 2009-10-15

By: Johan Nylander

Contact: jnylander @ users.sourceforge.net

...

Installation: 1. Put the align.vim in your ~/.vim/syntax folder 2. To set the filetype to align do :set filetype=align :syntax enable

Hope it will help !

I know you are asking for a VIM solution, but you may want to look into the EMACS based RALEE command line alignment editor.

Usually I use VIM, but this looks like a really good solution for when I use EMACS, thanks!
