How to plot hydrophobicity in multiple sequence alignment

Hi everyone,

I really like Jalview. It could show hydrophobicity of my aligned amino acid sequences.

The number of aligned sequences is large. It will help to have average hydrophobicity at every position

For all the aligned seuqnces.

How can color scheme be converted to hydrophobicity score ?

Jalview colors every aa based on its hydrophobicity.

Can I access the numbers behind colors ?

I have attached one of my result.

Please help.

Best,

Rohit

Hello Rohit,

I’ve attached a groovy script that can be run to produce average hydrophobicity score annotation (copying in the list now we know it works for you!).

Tools | Groovy console | paste in the script and Script | Run.

I recommend choosing Jalview option Annotations | Autocalculated annotation | Show Last, so the new annotation stays above the others.

To answer your follow-up questions:

You can extract the annotation score values as CSV by right-click on the label at the left, option Export Annotation.

This works for all rows including the new Hydrophobicity scores.

You can copy the consensus sequence to the clipboard by right-click on ‘Consensus’ and ‘Copy Consensus Sequence’.

See http://www.jalview.org/help/html/menus/alwannotationpanel.html.

You can increase the font size of your alignment from the Jalview Format | Font menu.

Let us know if you have any more questions, and happy Jalviewing!

Kind regards,

Mungo

And just to add that, should you wish to, you can now use option ‘Select | Select/Hide Columns by Annotation’ to select (or hide!) columns above or below a threshold value for average hydrophobicity score.
