Description

Hi, I've been running the MMseq2 ColabFold for a specific type of protein sequences, and I always get the same set of ~4000 sequences in the .a3m file. Would it be possible to put these sequences from the .a3m file in a file in one of the folders for the local installation of AlphaFold2, and tricking AlphaFold2 to always look at these when running?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by comparing the MMseq2 ColabFold .a3m output with the local AlphaFold2 installation folders and determine whether the referenced sequences can be supplied there. Done would be a documented, reproducible workflow or a clear explanation of the limitation.
