I am looking for a tool that I can use to remove sequences from my protein alignments that do not contain highly conserved residues. For example, I would be able to direct this tool to remove any sequence that does not contain an arginine at position 124 in my supplied alignment. Is anyone aware of a tool that can help me with this goal?
Just a bit of additional clarification: I am sequencing an amplicon of a functional gene and generating protein sequence alignments using RDP's fungene pipeline. I want to further screen the sequences by eliminating any that do not contain a selection of conserved residues at various positions.
Thanks!
