KOBAS: a web server for gene/protein functional annotation and functional gene set enrichment

Jit — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 09:36:11 -0500

KOBAS 3.0 is a web server for gene/protein functional annotation (Annotate module) and functional gene set enrichment(Enrichment module). For Annotate module, it accepts gene list as input, including IDs or sequences, and generates annotations for each gene based on multiple databases about pathways, diseases, and Gene Ontology. For Enrichment module, it can accept either gene list or gene expression data as input, and generates enriched gene sets, corresponding name, p-value or a probability of enrichment and enrichment score based on results of multiple methods.

Binding Site Prediction in Protein !

Poonam Mahapatra — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 04:35:57 -0500

The interaction between proteins and other molecules is fundamental to all biological functions. In this section we include tools that can assist in prediction of interaction sites on protein surface and tools for predicting the structure of the intermolecular complex formed between two or more molecules (docking).

Pockets Identification

CASTp

Automatic Identification of pockets and cavities in proteins structure, and quantitation of their volumes using Delaunay triangulation. Available also as PyMOL plugin

Pocket-Finder

Automatic identification of pockets and cavities in proteins structure, and quantitation of their volumes.

PocketPicker

Grid-based technique for the analysis of protein pockets. PocketPicker available as a plugin for PyMOL

Binding Site Prediction

ConSurf

Identification of functional regions in proteins by surface-mapping of phylogenetic information

CRESCENDO

Identification protein interaction sites. It uses sequence conservation patterns in homologous proteins to distinguish between residues that are conserved due to structural restraints from those due to functional restraints.

Ligand Binding Sites

3DLigandSite

The server utilizes protein-structure prediction to provide structural models of the binding site. Ligands bound to structures are superimposed onto the model and use to predict the binding site.

FINDSITE

A threading-based method for ligand-binding site prediction and functional annotation based on binding-site similarity across superimposed groups of threading templates.

LIGSITE^csc

Prediction of binding site by pocket identification using the Connolly surface and degree of conservation

metaPocketA meta server for ligand-binding site prediction. metaPocket use LIGSITE^csc, PASS, Q-SiteFinder and SURFNET

Enrichr: a comprehensive gene set enrichment analysis

Jit — Thu, 27 Apr 2017 05:42:09 -0500

Enrichment analysis is a popular method for analyzing gene sets generated by genome-wide experiments. Here we present a significant update to one of the tools in this domain called Enrichr. Enrichr currently contains a large collection of diverse gene set libraries available for analysis and download. In total, Enrichr currently contains 180 184 annotated gene sets from 102 gene set libraries. New features have been added to Enrichr including the ability to submit fuzzy sets, upload BED files, improved application programming interface and visualization of the results as clustergrams. Overall, Enrichr is a comprehensive resource for curated gene sets and a search engine that accumulates biological knowledge for further biological discoveries. Enrichr is freely available at: http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/Enrichr.

dbCAN: a web server and DataBase for automated Carbohydrate-active enzyme ANnotation

Jit — Mon, 29 May 2017 05:39:29 -0500

dbCAN is a web server and DataBase for automated Carbohydrate-active enzyme ANnotation, funded by the BioEnergy Science Center of the DOE. Similar resources on the web include CAZy database and CAT. All data in dbCAN are generated based on the family classification from CAZy database while it has the following unique features compared with CAZy database and CAT:

dbCAN provides the capability of automated and comprehensive CAZyme annotation of a given genome submitted by the user;
dbCAN provides an explicitly defined signature domain for each and every CAZyme family along with its location in all the relevant full-length CAZyme proteins in all sequenced genomes;
dbCAN provides the most complete set of metagenomic CAZyme genes published so far and represents the first step towards discovering novel CAZyme catalysts in metagenomes;
dbCAN provides a subfamily classification of the existing CAZyme families based on sequence similarities;
dbCAN make all pre-computed data freely available to the public, including sequence alignments, hidden markov models (HMMs) and phylogenies of the signature domain regions in each and every CAZyme family and subfamily.

dbCAN is updated regularly when CAZy database created new families based on latest literature.
