KLEEK aligned?

Science: Does the KLEEK motif line up?

Note: This assignment is connected to the motif filter assignment.

Determine whether the sequences are conserved enough around the KLEEK motif that its alignment is perfect: the motif sequences are lining up.

• Take the test file and retrieve the sequences that contain the KLEEK motif.
• Use the program muscle to compute a multialignment of the KLEEK sequences.
• Use the alignment viewer seaview to inspect the alignment. How well do the KLEEK motifs align?

To present:

1. Explain the purpose of multialignment!
2. Does the KLEEK motif line up in your multialignment?
