Performs multiple sequence alignment of proteins with EBI Clustal Omega. Use when you need to align multiple sequences to assess similarity, domain conservation, or key residue conservation. Supports up to 4000 sequences and a maximum file size of 4 MB. Do not use to search for homologous proteins in a database (use MMseqs2, BLAST), align non-protein sequences (DNA, RNA), perform structural alignment (use Foldseek, PyMOL), or if you only have a single sequence.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'protein-sequence-msa' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'protein-sequence-msa' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named protein-sequence-msa already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'science-skills/protein_sequence_msa' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'science-skills/protein_sequence_msa' ~/.agents/skills/'protein-sequence-msa' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'protein-sequence-msa' ~/.claude/skills/'protein-sequence-msa' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
