sequence alignment of protein sequence

I want to find the protein sequences of wheat which have IGT motif. I used the scanprosite tool to find the protein sequences which have igt motif. 9419 sequences are collected by scanprosite I have 3 other wheat protein sequences, and I want to align 3 protein sequence with 1890 protein sequences by pairwise alignment to check the homology with 3 sequences.what is the best tool for pairwise alignment which can be used to sequence this huge data? By using the tool scanprosit i collected sequences that have the desired motif. now want to check the similarity or homology of these sequences with 3 other protein sequences. Kindly tell me to check the homology what can i do?

sequence alignment

Use standalone blast where you can make 1890 protein as a database (using makeblastdb) and rest 3 protein as a query.

This is good advice for local alignment, but if you're looking to do global/MSA, you'd need a different approach. By pairwise alignment, do you mean you wish to align each of the 3 sequences with each of the 1890 other sequences? Because a pairwise alignment means something different in the multiple sequence alignment context.

yes, I want to align 3 protein sequences with 9419.

9419

Where did that come from?

Actually, i want to find the protein sequences of wheat which have IGT motif. I used the scanprosite tool to find the protein sequences which have igt motif. these sequences are collected by scanprosite

How long are the sequences?

sorry I mention the wrong number of protein sequences.it is 9419 protein sequences and length vary from 250 to 1500.some protein sequences are uncharacterized.

Give a try to Clustal Omega It is a global alignment program that uses a Hidden Markov Mode.
