Abstract Key steps in a computational study of protein function involve analysis of (i) relationships between homologous proteins, (ii) protein domain architecture and (iii) gene neighborhoods the corresponding proteins are encoded in. Each of these steps requires a separate computational task and sets of tools. Currently in order to relate protein features and gene neighborhoods information to phylogeny, researchers need to prepare all the necessary data and combine them by hand, which is time-consuming and error-prone. Here, we present a new platform, TREND (tree-based exploration of neighborhoods and domains), which can perform all the necessary steps in automated fashion and put the derived information into phylogenomic context, thus making evolutionary based protein function analysis more efficient. A rich set of adjustable components allows a user to run the computational steps specific to his task. TREND is freely available at http://trend.zhulinlab.org.

Abstract SMART (Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool) is a web resource (https://smart.embl.de) for the identification and annotation of protein domains and the analysis of protein domain architectures. SMART version 9 contains manually curated models for more than 1300 protein domains, with a topical set of 68 new models added since our last update article (1). All the new models are for diverse recombinase families and subfamilies and as a set they provide a comprehensive overview of mobile element recombinases namely transposase, integrase, relaxase, resolvase, cas1 casposase and Xer like cellular recombinase. Further updates include the synchronization of the underlying protein databases with UniProt (2), Ensembl (3) and STRING (4), greatly increasing the total number of annotated domains and other protein features available in architecture analysis mode. Furthermore, SMART’s vector-based protein display engine has been extended and updated to use the latest web technologies and the domain architecture analysis components have been optimized to handle the increased number of protein features available.

The characterization of protein functions is one of the main challenges in bioinformatics. Proteins are often composed of individual units termed domains, motifs that can evolve independently. The domain architecture of a given protein is the particular order and the content of its numerous domains. Some computational approaches predict the most likely domain architecture for a set of proteins. However, a few numbers of visualization tools exist, and most of them are unavailable. Here we present DAVI, an efficient and user-friendly web server for protein domain architecture clustering and visualization. DAVI accepts the output of most used domain architecture prediction tools and also produces domain architectures for a set of protein sequences. It provides a rich visualization for comparing, analyzing, and visualizing domain architectures.
