Sequence Features

This displays Uniprot sequence features on the alignment if a 100% sequence match is found.

The first step in this process is to match the id (name) of each sequence with Uniprot. If there is no match, a Blast search is performed to try to obtain the Uniprot Id for each sequence. You will be notified of any 100% matches with Uniprot, which you must manually assign to each sequence in your input alignment, then save the file.

The input sequence will be matched with the returned Uniprot record, the start and end residues can then be correctly assigned to each sequence.

Sequence features which are 1 residue in length are coloured red. Features which span a region are coloured blue.

By moving the mouse pointer over a sequence feature on the alignment a small label will appear with the description of that sequence feature.

A local cache of retrieved uniprot entries is recorded on your local machine.
