HIValign

This is a beta version! There may be bugs or other problems. Please use with GREAT care and let use know any problems you have. Since this tool is being actively developed, we will fix them quickly.

Purpose: HIValign takes one or more nucleotide sequences in any standard format and aligns them to our sequence Hidden Markov Model. This tool can be used to align your sequences based on our complete DNA alignments.

Usage: Paste your sequence(s) into the space provided, or browse for your file. Then, select a HMM Model, or let program decide.

Explanation: HIValign was developed from a implementation of HMMER package. HIValign attempts to automatically recognize the format of your input file by using Format Conversion.

Aligning large size sequences is a computationally intensive procedure. Currently, input files which is pre-aligned smaller than 500 Kb or which is not pre-aligned smller than 50 Kb for the user selected model are run immediately; if your input file exceeds the limit or uses the model by program decide, your job will be run in batch, and you will receive an email when it has finished. The email contains link to your results.

Input
Paste your sequence(s)
[Sample Input]
Or upload your sequence file
Select the HMM Model

Options
Send e-mail with results instead of displaying in browser
Align the sequences
Codon-Align the sequences
Insert a reference sequence ( HXB2 for HIV-1, BEN for HIV-2 ,or SIVMM239 for SIV )

Note: This program is computationally intensive and may take a while to run. Please don't resubmit your request!
