Hey, guys. I am having trouble deciphering this protein sequence alignment. I figure that the colors may be related to the conservation between the sequences but I'm not sure. I also thought that the color may be due to the different properties of the residues, but in some places Valine and Isoleucine are colored the same and in others they're not. I'm only in my second week of Bioinformatics and this paper is for a Cell Bio course, so I'm a little stuck.
Here is a link to the article. It's Figure 1A.
Thanks for any help!
Thank you. I went through the paper and I couldn't find that they mentioned what tool they used so I'm not really sure how to figure that out.
Hold on while I take a look at it.
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time.
Answer updated with my idea on the color coding. Hope it helps.
It helps a lot. Thank you again!
