Multiple alignment

Anders Gorm Pedersen (gorm@cbs.dtu.dk)

Exercise

Perform a multiple alignment of protein sequences from HIV using the program ClustalX. The multiple alignment will later be used in a phylogenetic analysis of different immuno-deficiency viruses.


Transparencies

Below is a list of all transparencies used for the lecture on multiple alignment. All files are in PDF format.

NOTE: PDF files are a bit large but hopefully they will print with few problems.
