Easier threading through web-based comparisons and cross-validations

Bioinformatics. 2001 Aug;17(8):752-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/17.8.752.

Abstract

We have developed a WWW server for the integration and comparison of protein structure predictions performed by five different servers. Users submit an amino acid sequence to a selected set of these prediction methods. Results are gathered on a web-based page in order to facilitate comparison and analysis. All the alignments are further evaluated through a common threading tool making their comparisons easier.

Availability: The meta-server is available free at http://www.infobiosud.cnrs.fr/bioserver
