Hi,

do you know a tool (server) that colors a sequence alignment file (in FASTA format) by residue type?

Thank you very much

Silvia

Using sed

(echo "<body><html><pre>" && curl -s http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/multalignviewer/apoex.fa | sed -r -e '/^[^>]/s%([ALVLIFLP])%\1%g' -e 's/^>/\>/' && echo "</pre></body></html>" ) > out.html

If you need it for presentations, papers, etc., there is a very nice LaTeX package: http://www.uni-kiel.de/Pharmazie/chem/Prof_Beitz/pdf/texshade.pdf

Jalview www.jalview.org) has many option for colouring whole alignments or groups. I have added the link to a youtube video about this. Plus there are videos about how to change the appearance of the alignment and exporting journal quality figures.
