I need some hints from people who really know how to deal with the burgeoning database (I'm a crystallographer / biochemist):
I'm interested in the catalytic domain of a protein found on many plasmids & transposons. I'd like to make a "sequence logo" or other informative-at-a-glance display of which residues are most conserved. Blast gives me pages of 99% identical proteins (mostly from other S. aureus strains), and I'm too lazy to pick "representatives" manually from further down the list. What is the best way to get a list of related proteins that are all, say, <90% identical to other proteins in the list? many thanks, Phoebe ===================================== Phoebe A.
