The Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) of a gene family can be downloaded as a FASTA file.


The default MSA file contains amino acid sequences of all members in the PhyloGenes gene family. When you prune the tree (remove genes of certain organisms), then download MSA, the MSA will exclude those pruned genes. Read more about the MSA


The sequence FASTA header is formatted as:

>UniProt ID|Organism full name|Gene ID


For example:

>A8J0U2|Chlamydomonas reinhardtii|CHLREDRAFT_196438

    I can not download sequences

    Me neither, I think the download feature is broken

  3. I'm unable to reproduce the broken download MSA feature. If this is still the case, please email curator@arabidopsis.org to report the issue and we'll get back to you.
