UCSF Chimera - Sequence-Structure Tools

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:

    Armies, though always the supporters and tools of absolute power for the time being, are always the destroyers of it too; by frequently changing the hands in which they think proper to lodge it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
