CombAlign: a code for generating a one-to-many sequence alignment from a set of pairwise structure-based sequence alignments.

CombAlign is a new Python code that generates a one-to-many, gapped, multiple structure- or sequence-based sequence alignment (MSSA) given a set of pairwise sequence alignments (which may be structure based). CombAlign has utility in assisting the user in distinguishing structurally conserved versus divergent regions on a reference protein structure relative to other closely related proteins. CombAlign was developed in Python 2.6, and the source code is available for download from the GitHub code repository.
