Constraint-Based Multiple Alignment Tool (COBALT)<a class="bibr" href="#JEKOtU220.Pap07" rid="JEKOtU220.Pap07">(1)</a>. COBALT can align a set of provided sequences
or can be run as an extension to a Web BLAST search performing a multiple alignment
on the set of protein sequences collected from the original BLAST search. The Web
implementation of COBALT uses information from pairwise protein BLAST (blastp)
scores, Conserved Domain Database results, and Prosite pattern matches as
constraints in an initial pairwise alignment that is followed by a progressive
multiple sequence alignment. The results from COBALT can be used with the BLAST
treeview service to generate a phylogenetic tree from the multiple alignment. An
often-requested service, the addition of a multiple alignment greatly enhances the
suite of sequence analysis tools available at the NCBI and provides a new and
powerful extension to BLAST.</p><div id="JEKOtU220.RunningC7_2"><h3>Running COBALT on a Set of Sequences</h3><p>The Web interface to COBALT will be available from the BLAST homepage or directly

that is mis-spliced because of missing data in the genome. This sequence creates
large gaps in the multiple alignment that interrupt the conserved Citryl-Coa

ability to edit the sequence set and perform another alignment with the modified

clicking the &#x0201c;Multiple Alignment&#x0201d; link in the
&#x0201c;Other reports&#x0201d; line on the BLAST results. This provides
an easy way to collect homologs in a set of species and align them for
phylogenetic or other comparative study. The most useful sets of sequences for
these purposes come from searches with well-defined taxon-restricted databases.
For example, a BLAST search with the human prolactin reference sequence
(<a href="/protein/4506105/?report=GenPept" class="bk_tag" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=genpept">NP_000939</a>) can collect growth hormone family members from bony fishes for
building a multiple alignment and a gene tree. A BLAST search using the
following settings finds 13 full-length growth hormone homologs from four
species of fish: Database = Reference proteins (refseq_protein); Organism = bony
fishes; Entrez query = srcdb refseq known[properties]; Expect threshold = 1e-6.
The Entrez query limit eliminates proteins based entirely on gene predictions.
The Expect threshold helps restrict the set to only closely related proteins and
can be adjusted after expanding the &#x0201c;Algorithm
parameters&#x0201d; of the BLAST form. A COBALT alignment can be generated
by clicking the &#x0201c;Multiple alignment&#x0201d; link in the
&#x0201c;Other reports&#x0201d; line at the top of the Descriptions or

(refseq_protein database, srcdb_refseq_known Entrez limit) with bony
fishes as an organism limit (top panel). The query sequence was the
human prolactin precursor (<a href="/protein/4506105/?report=GenPept" class="bk_tag" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=entrez&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=genpept">NP_000939</a>). A multiple alignment was
generated from the BLAST results. The phylogenetic tree shown (bottom
panel) was based on a second COBALT alignment (middle panel) using only
the fish sequences after de-selecting the human sequence on the original
alignment and re-aligning. The tree shows three distinct subfamilies:
growth hormone, prolactin, and the somatolactins, a group of pituitary
hormones specific to fishes.</p></div></div></article></div><div id="jr-scripts"><script src="/corehtml/pmc/jatsreader/ptpmc_3.22/js/libs.min.js"> </script><script src="/corehtml/pmc/jatsreader/ptpmc_3.22/js/jr.min.js"> </script></div></div>
