Multi sequence aligment file

  1. Upload FASTA file
  2. Access CLUSTALW, and upload or enter FASTA file. I uploaded five T1 type RNase T1/Po1/He1/Ms/F1, and color-code T1 (PDB ID:2B4U).
    Example of FASTA file

  3. Click "Execute Multiple Aligment"

  4. Save "clustalw.aln"
  5. Example of aligment file
