Background

ICM provides state of the art sequence analysis, alignment and alignment editing tools. Many sequence analysis tools can be found in the Bioinfo menu.

If you intend to use ICM alignment tools you can customize your sequence alignments in a number of ways:

  • Coloring according to a number of different consensus schemes.
  • Customizing your own consensus tables.
  • Shading areas of interest.
  • Boxing areas of interest.
  • Adding comments to an alignment.
  • Saving an alignment as a high quality image for publication.
  • Displaying and analyzing phylogenetic trees.
  • Direct selection from the alignment to the 3D object.

ICM has an easy to use editor for pairwise and multiple alignments. ICM alignment editor is robust and always protects the integrity of your alignment by protecting you from making unintended changes in the alignment.
