PDEXK – Server for Detection of new Protein Families from the PD-(D/E)XK Superfamily

PDEXK

:: DESCRIPTION

The PDEXK server is developed for detecting new protein families of the PD-(D/E)XK superfamily using Support Vector Machines trained on data derived from profile-profile alignments. Using a number of both superfamily-specific and general features, SVMs were trained to identify true positive alignments of PD-(D/E)XK representatives.

CLANS 20101007 – Visualize Protein Families based on Pairwise Similarity

CLANS 20101007

:: DESCRIPTION

CLANS (CLuster ANalysis of Sequences) is a software for visualizing protein families based on pairwise similarity. A clustering is performed based on all against all BLAST similarities and the detected groups are returned. Only BLAST similarities better than a specified cutoff are used to perform the cluster analysis.

DIVERGE 2.0 – Detect Functional Divergence between member Genes of a Protein Family

DIVERGE 2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

DIVERGE is designed to detect functional divergence between member genes of a protein family, based on (site-specific) shifted evolutionary rates after gene duplication or speciation. Posterior analysis results in a site-specific profile for predicting important amino acid residues that are responsible for functional divergence. Moreover, when the 3D protein structure is available, these predicted sites can be mapped to the 3D structure viewer to explore its structure basis.
