MADS box gene & protein sequence alignments
The alignments linked from this page were computed from the protein sequences
listed in the MADS box gene list using the
GCG program pileup.
The MADS box in the protein sequences was found with the
GCG program findpatterns
and pattern files matching the MADS domain starting from
position 11,
position 21, and
position 43.
The MIK domain was found with the
MIK pattern. The alignments were
formatted with the
GCG program pretty.
Gaps are denoted by dots (internal gaps) or tilde characters ("~",
terminal gaps). Consensus sequences are displayed at the bottom line.
Only amino acid characters deviating from the consensus amino acid
are explicitly shown, those matching the consensus are displayed as
dashes ("-"). Here are the links to the alignments:
