RE: [modeller_usage] ModWeb question

["Eswar Narayanan" <eashwar AT salilab.org>]

Yes, the modweb models are currently based on a single template only. A
future version of ModWeb will return models based on multiple templates. So
for now, using MODELLER in a manual fashion will probably result in more
accurate models depending on the quality of the alignments and templates.
