The Berkeley Phylogenomics Group provides a series of
web servers for phylogenomic analysis: classification of sequences to pre-computed families and subfamilies using the PhyloFacts Phylogenomic Encyclopedia, FlowerPower clustering of proteins sharing the same domain architecture, MUSCLE multiple sequence alignment, SATCHMO simultaneous alignment and tree construction, and SCI-PHY subfamily identification.
CHC_FIND is a tool to analyze conserved hydrophobic contacts (CHC) from multiple structural alignments. In addition to a multiple sequence alignment, a structural alignment which provides the superposition of structurally conserved regions (SCRs) (i.e., results from SCR_FIND) needs to be provided.
COMPASS (Comparison of Multiple Protein Alignments with Assessment of Statistical Significance) is a tool for detecting remote levels of sequence similarity using profile-based comparison of multiple sequence alignments. Statistics and speed have been improved, and visualization tools introduced.
ConPlex is a web server that enables conservation analyses of protein interactions within protein quaternary structures. Results of the residue specific conservation analysis are displayed on the input protein complex structure.
The ConSurf server allows one to map levels of amino acid conservation to known protein structures in order to study areas of potential functional importance on the surface of the protein. A PDB file is required as input, and a multiple sequence alignment is optional. If an alignment is not provided, ConSurf will build one by performing a search for homologous sequences and then aligning them.
ConSurf 2010 combines ConSurf and ConSeq for an easier, more intuitive interface.
The dcode.org website provides access to tools for comparative genomic analyses developed by the Comparative Genomics Center at the Lawerence Livermore National Laboratory. Tools include: zPicture, Mulan, eShadow, rVista, CREME, and the ECR Browser.
Evolutionary trace (ET) report maker pools information from different sources including databases and on-the-fly multiple sequence analysis to produce a pdf formatted document as output. The emphasis is on prediction of functional sites of proteins.
fastSCOP identifies structural domains and determines evolutionary superfamilies of a query protein structure using 3D-BLAST to scan SCOP and MAMMOTH to create a structural alignment for refining domain boundaries.
FGF (Fishing Gene Family) is a resource for finding gene families given a set of protein sequences by investigating phylogenetic trees, duplication fate, and selective pressure (ka/ks calculations).
GenDecoder is a prediction server for animal mitochondrial genetic codes. It provides information about codon-usage, amino acid composition, GC content and a final genetic code prediction for a mitochondrial genome sequence.
GLUE, PEDEL, and DRIVeR are tools for estimating completeness and diversity in randomized protein-encoding libraries; useful for guiding library design and for analyzing results. GLUE Including Translation (GLUE-IT) finds the expected amino acid completeness of libraries. PEDEL-AA calculates amino acid statistics for libraries generated by epPCR.
