Description
Expected Behavior
MSAs generated locally and on the ipynb should be identical
Current Behavior
local MSA coverage

ipynb MSA coverage

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
I am running the MSA prediction as indicated in the readme without any options. I use the latest commit of mmseqs2 and the database hosted here https://colabfold.mmseqs.com/.
Are there any special settings that need to be applied to replicate the default colabfold behavior?
Thank you,
Dominik

Research direction
Start with the README instructions for local MSA prediction and compare them with the ipynb workflow. Reproduce both runs using the latest mmseqs2 commit and the hosted database specified in the report, then identify the differing settings or inputs. Done means the local and ipynb MSAs have matching coverage, or the required settings are documented.
