Consensus sequence comparison

Hi

I was wondering if anybody knows of a program to compare consensus sequences to normal sequences

Thanks

Best regards

It depends what you mean by compare. Elaborate please.

Hi perlmunky, thanks for your reply

I want to be able to be able to align a known consensus sequence against an uncharacterised protein sequence and if possible be able see if the residues of the uncharacterised sequence fit with in the consensus amino acid code (e.g o = S,T; l = I,L,V; . = A,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,K,L,M,N,P,Q; etc) to which it is aligned.

e.g (consensus and protein sequence taken from SMART for the TPR domain) A program which would align S75991 against the consensus sequence and identify the residues which correspond to the consensus amino acid code.

S75991 ALTLNNIGTIYYAREDYDQALNYYEQALSLSRAV
CONSENSUS/80% ..hh.thu.hh...tphppAht.hppsltht.p.
CONSENSUS/65% spshhphGthhhphsphppAlphappAlplpsp.
CONSENSUS/50% spsatslGpsatptucaccAlcsap+ALclsPss

Best regards

Does this not make sense? or is it not possible to do?
