IMGT/Collier-de-Perles

IMGT/Collier-de-Perles is part of IMGT®, the international ImMunoGeneTics information system® http://www.imgt.org [1].

IMGT/Collier-de-Perles, created by LIGM (Université Montpellier II, CNRS), is an IMGT tool which provides graphical 2D representations or IMGT Colliers de Perles for domains of the IgSF and MhcSF superfamilies [2-5], on the Web since 28 September 2006.

IMGT/Collier-de-Perles allows to make your own IMGT Collier de Perles starting from an amino acid sequence with gaps according to the IMGT unique numbering for V-DOMAIN and V-LIKE-DOMAIN, C-DOMAIN and C-LIKE-DOMAIN, G-DOMAIN and G-LIKE-DOMAIN [3-5].

IMGT/Collier-de-Perles of V and C types can be displayed on one or two layers. This tool is also reached through IMGT/DomainGapAlign for amino acid sequences for which gaps need to be identified.
