The PEDANT genome analysis server has been updated. Please note the new
address:
http://pedant.mips.biochem.mpg.de/
The FCA contig of the A.thaliana genome (Bevan M, et al. Nature. 1998
Jan 29;
391(6666): 485-488.) is now available.
The partial S.pombe genomic sequence has been updated in collaboration
with Dr. Valerie Wood (Sanger Center).
Five new unfinished genomic sequences have been analyzed:
-Pyrococcus furiosus (University of Utah Genome Center)
-Neisseria gonorrhoeae (University of Oklahoma's Advanced
Center for Genome Technology)
-Streptococcus pyogenes (University of Oklahoma's Advanced
Center for Genome Technology)
-Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans (University of Oklahoma's
Advanced Center for Genome Technology)
-Yersinia pestis (Sanger Center in collaboration with the
Department of Medical Microbiology, St. Bartholomew's
and The Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry,
Queen Mary and Westfield College, London)
Your comments and criticisms are welcome.

- Exhaustive functional and structural classification of
the predicted open reading frames from fully sequenced
genomes using a combination of sequence comparison and
prediction techniques
- Functional assignment of ORFs on the basis of BLAST2
similarity searches supplemented by detection of PROSITE
patterns and motifs and comparisons with conserved sequence
blocks and protein domains
- Automatic attribution of sequences with significantly related
PIR entries to one of the PIR super-families
- Functional classification of gene products through similarity
searches against several curated master gene sets from
bacteria and yeast with manually assigned functional classes
- Extraction of available 3D information through Smith-Waterman
similarity comparisons of every sequence with the STRIDE
database of secondary structure assignments
- Secondary structure and transmembrane region predictions
- Detection of low-complexity and coiled coil regions
- Signal peptide predictions
- Molecular weight and pI
