Sequence-Structure Tools
- many sequence alignment formats read, written
- sequence alignments can be created, edited
- sequences automatically associate with structures
- sequence-structure crosstalk: highlighting in one highlights the other
- protein BLAST search via Web service
- interface to MODELLER for homology modeling
- structure superposition with or without pre-existing sequence alignment
- generation of structure-based sequence alignments from multiple superpositions
- several methods for calculating conservation and displaying values on associated structures
- RMSD header (histogram above the sequences) showing variability of associated structures
- user-defined headers including histograms and colored symbols
- UniProt feature annotations shown as colored boxes on sequences
- trees in Newick format read/displayed
