List of programs used for large scale DNA alignment. At the moment the statements are mostly from web sites of programs in question.
For introduction read: Lyons and Freeling "How to usefully compare homologous plant genes and chromosomes as DNA sequences" 2008 Also: Parameters for accurate genome alignment by Frith et al BMC Bioinformatics 2010, 11:80 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/80

Compare two vertebrate genomes (Human vs. mouse: 1 day on 1 CPU) copes more efficiently with repeat-rich sequences can align a large number of sequences (i.e. next gen sequencing data to genome)
Use softmasked input sequences.

YASS
http://bioinfo.lifl.fr/yass/ last release: pre-release v1.14 build Apr 15, 2010 paper; doi:10.1093/nar/gki478
spliced seeds, see also links to hedera & iedera programs on YASS page.
Cgaln
http://www.genome.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~aln_user/cgaln/ last release: Cgaln-1.0.0.tar.gz
Two step aligner (first at the blocks then nucleotide levels). According to authors, fast and memory efficient.
FEAST
http://monod.uwaterloo.ca/feast/ last release: feast-105-bin.tar.gz
more sensitive but slower than lastz, new tool not widely tested.
MAUVE
multiple genome alignment http://asap.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve/ last release: 2.3.1, from November 11th 2009. Java application with GUI. Simple to use, producing colorful graphic. Output gets too cluttered with too many / too divergent sequences.
Spines
software collection from Broad http://www.broadinstitute.org/science/programs/genome-biology/spines latest release: spines-1.11.tar.gz from 2010-10-28
- Satsuma "highly parallelized program for high-sensitivity, genome-wide synteny"
- Papaya "an all-purpose alignment tool for less diverged sequences"
- SLAP "context-sensitive local aligner for diverged sequences with large gaps"
Mercator
Multiple Whole-Genome Orthology Map Construction
http://www.biostat.wisc.edu/~cdewey/mercator/
latest release: cndsrc-2010.10.11.tar.gz
Enredo-Pecan-Ortheus pipeline
Several programs used for aligning eukariotic genomes at ENSEMBL.

AuberGene
http://www.ibi.vu.nl/programs/aubergenewww/ Probably most suitable for aligning a particular gene locus.
