Guide
ElastoDB stores elastin sequences from various vertebrate organisms. To view these sequences:
- Select organism(s) whose sequence you wish to view (click on the phylogenetic class to expand the menu).
- Choose physical properties to compare with by selecting from the 'Properties' scrolldown menu and setting the max/min parameters (one for hydrophobic domains
and one for cross-linking domains). Otherwise, use the default selections.
- Specify any additional settings for exon range, and common motifs (optional),
or use default settings.
- Click on View to display the sequence(s). Reset will restore all defaults.
The ensuing display will show the sequence(s) with exons represented by colour-coded shapes that correspond to their physical properties.
