The alignments have been generated manually, using either SOMAP (part of the ADSP suite), XALIGN or VISTAS. We make no claims for their `correctness' (if such a thing exists), but provide them in good faith as a guide to, or as an illustration of, the type of protein families contained in PRINTS. We hope they will be of use to users wishing to augment the information contained in PRINTS, or to those seeking a convenient starting point for their own analyses - the files should be accessible to any software that reads NBRF format.
VISTAS and XALIGN are accessible via the DRAL SEQNET service.
