Import alignment¶
Import an alignment, probably for use in molecular replacement, either by cut-n-paste or selecting a file. Various alignment formats can be recognised and read: clustal, pir, fasta, stockholm and phylip. See the Model Data documentation for description of these files. Beware that text from word processors or web pages may contain other formatting that makes them unreadable.
The task can also read the search result files from HHPred or Blast servers that usually contain multiple alignments. Beware that only the XML Blast files can be read - the text output is too variable. Beware that search hits do not necessarilly include the full sequence of the target or the hot structure - they only show the common fragments but these are what are required by the model editing programs (Chainsaw and Sculptor).
