The BetaWrap program detects the right-handed parallel beta-helix super-secondary structural motif in primary amino acid sequences by using beta-strand interactions learned from non-beta-helix structures.
Wrap-and-pack detects beta-trefoils in protein sequences by using both pairwise beta-strand interactions and 3-D energetic packing information
The BetaWrapPro program predicts right-handed beta-helices and beta-trefoils by using both sequence profiles and pairwise beta-strand interactions, and returns coordinates for the structure.
GLASS aligns large orthologous genomic regions using an iterative global alignment system. Rosetta identifies genes based on conservation of exonic features in sequences aligned by GLASS.
The MSARi program indentifies conserved RNA secondary structure in non-coding RNA genes and mRNAs by searching multiple sequence alignments of a large set of candidate catalogs for correlated arrangements of reverse-complementary regions
t-sample is an online algorithm for time-series experiments that allows an experimenter to determine which biological samples should be hybridized to arrays to recover expression profiles within a given error bound.
The Struct2Net program predicts protein-protein interactions (PPI) by integrating structure-based information with other functional annotations, e.g. GO, co-expression and co-localization etc. The structure-based protein interaction prediction is conducted using a protein threading server RAPTOR plus logistic regression.
IsoRank is an algorithm for global alignment of multiple protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. The intuition is that a protein in one PPI network is a good match for a protein in another network if the former's neighbors are good matches for the latter's neighbors.
The Paircoil2 program predicts coiled-coil domains in protein sequences by using pairwise residue correlations obtained from a coiled-coil database. The original Paircoil program is still available for use.
The MultiCoil program predicts the location of coiled-coil regions in amino acid sequences and classifies the predictions as dimeric or trimeric. An updated version, Multicoil2, will soon be available.
The LearnCoil Histidase Kinase program uses an iterative learning algorithm to detect possible coiled-coil domains in histidase kinase receptors.
The LearnCoil-VMF program uses an iterative learning algorithm to detect coiled-coil-like regions in viral membrane-fusion proteins.
The Trilogy program discovers novel sequence-structure patterns in proteins by exhaustively searching through three-residue motifs using both sequence and structure information.
The ChainTweak program efficiently samples from the neighborhood of a given base configuration by iteratively modifying a conformation using a dihedral angle representation.
The TreePack program uses a tree-decomposition based algorithm to solve the side-chain packing problem more efficiently. This algorithm is more efficient than SCWRL 3.0 while maintaining the same level of accuracy.
PartiFold: Ensemble prediction of transmembrane protein structures. Using statistical mechanics principles, partiFold computes residue contact probabilities and sample super-secondary structures from sequence only.
tFolder: Prediction of beta sheet folding pathways. Predict a coarse grained representation of the folding pathway of beta sheet proteins in a couple of minutes.
RNAmutants: Algorithms for exploring the RNA mutational landscape. Predict the effect of mutations on structures and reciprocally the influence of structures on mutations. A tool for molecular evolution studies and RNA design.
RNAiCut - Automated Detection of Significant Genes from Functional Genomic Screens.
MinoTar - Predict microRNA Targets in Coding Sequence.
MATT is a multiple protein structure alignment program. It uses local geometry to align segments of two sets of proteins, allowing limited bends in the backbones between the segments.
