This server calculates the sequence variability within a multiple sequence alignment using several variability metrics. Subsequently, the server can perform several tasks, such as masking the variability in the reference sequence, returning conserved fragments or mapping the sequence variability onto a provided 3D-structure.

INPUT Choose your input data type: Protein Alignment ( Valid formats are: CLUSTAL, FASTA, GCC/PILEUP) PDB File Paste your alignment. or Upload Alignment Get PDB file from PDB code    or Upload your PDB File     Chain ID
