Section 3 – Multiple alignment and protein motifs
This section of the tutorial is split into two parts. The first part will show you how to perform multiple alignments of DNA and protein sequences using ClustalW and how to format the output for inclusion into a Word document. This process allows you to identify the regions of conserved sequence by eye.
The second section will describe how to search for patterns and motifs in a protein sequence, comparing them to motif entries in a database for functional analysis purposes.
