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

Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
