[Chimera-users] [chimera-dev] Hello~ how to make a 3D structure for a number of family genes

[tao zhao]

That's very kind of you, thank you very much!I read the websites you gave me and can get a model from one sequence based on the templete now.and what I really want to do is to construct a conserved model of all 35 sequences in this gene family.The final picuture can have different colors in the different regions, showing various conservation.I can't manage this right now.
Best regardsTao

To use this feature, you would first need to go to the Modeller web site and sign up for  a license key <http://www.salilab.org/modeller/registration.html>  -- it is free for noncommercial use.
