Description

https://bio.tools/clustalw is a super-old deprecated version of Clustal W and Clustal X, without documentation, license, etc., just a link to a software archive.

The "current" (well still quite "mature") version of Clustal W and Clustal X is https://bio.tools/clustal2.

I improved the annotations of both of these records, but it would be very nice to fix the following, in order to avoid confusion:

  • Change the 'clustalw' ID to 'clustal1' (can be done immediately)
  • Let alternative IDs 'clustalw' and 'clustalx' redirect to https://bio.tools/clustal2 (a nice-to-have feature for users)

Note: I also added the alternative spellings of the names (e.g. ClustalW) to the descriptions of Clustal 2 and Clustal Omega, so that the correct records can be found by the full-text search. I also added the corresponding Debian and Conda packages.
