There are a large number of bioinformatics programs available to CBRG account holders via this web site. These examples (Frequently Asked Questions) are used to illustrate the use of these tools in answering typical queries posed by researchers.

The major web-based tools from the CBRG are listed, here.


How do I add colour to an alignment?

Program name: prettyplot     

(molbiol username / password required)

Notes: You can use prettyplot to create a coloured version of your alignment (a 'png' file) The images generated are suitable for insertion into a powerpoint presentation (right-click the image / copy / paste directly into the presentation). The residues may be coloured by conservation (identities and/or similarities), or by chemical properties.
