An application tool for alignment, template matching and visualization of gene expression time series is presented. The core algorithm based on dynamic warping techniques used in the speech recognition field. These allow non-linear (elastic) alignment temporal sequences feature vectors consequently enable detection similar shapes with different phases.The Java program, examples a tutorial are available at http://www.psb.ugent.be/cbd/papers/gentxwarper/
