Summary: Here we present the MSA-PAD application, a DNA multiple sequence alignment framework that uses PFAM protein domain information to align DNA sequences encoding either single or multiple protein domains. MSA-PAD has two alignment options: gene and genome mode.

Availability and Implementation: MSA-PAD is available as a web application (https://recasgateway.ba.infn.it/) and as two Taverna workflows corresponding to two alignment modes (Gene mode: http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/4549.html; Genome Mode: http://www.myexperiment.org/workflows/4551.html).
