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:
“... pure and intelligent women can be deceived and misled by the baser sort, their very innocence and experience making them credulous and the helpless tools of the guilty and bold.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
