A An MSA suitable for coevolutionary analysis is pruned by the identity of its sequences to the query sequence (yellow), removing distantly related sequences from the dataset and generating subfamily-specific MSAs. B Each MSA (original + all pruned) is used as input for coevolutionary analysis. C Predictions from all MSAs are superimposed on a single contact map. D A clustering algorithm filters noise, leaving dense clusters of predicted amino acid contacts. Contacts unique to the dominant/alternative folds are light gray/black; common contacts are light gray; experimentally consistent predictions are teal circles; incorrect predictions (noise) are translucent teal diamonds. Figure 1 provides an explanation of the dual-fold contact maps used here. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
