TLDR
Porter's accuracy, tested by rigorous 5-fold cross-validation on a large set of proteins, exceeds 79%, significantly above a copy of the state-of-the-art SSpro server, better than any system published to date.
Abstract
Summary: Porter is a new system for protein secondary structure prediction in three classes. Porter relies on bidirectional recurrent neural networks with shortcut connections, accurate coding of input profiles obtained from multiple sequence alignments, second stage filtering by recurrent neural networks, incorporation of long range information and large-scale ensembles of predictors. Porter's accuracy, tested by rigorous 5-fold cross-validation on a large set of proteins, exceeds 79%, significantly above a copy of the state-of-the-art SSpro server, better than any system published to date. Availability: Porter is available as a public web server at http://distill.ucd.ie/porter/ Contact: gianluca.pollastri@ucd.ie

ESpritz: accurate and fast prediction of protein disorder.

TL;DR: An ensemble of protein disorder predictors based on bidirectional recursive neural networks and trained on three different flavors of disorder, including a novel NMR flexibility predictor called ESpritz, which can be especially useful for high-throughput applications.

Comparative sequence analysis of leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) within vertebrate toll-like receptors

TL;DR: The super-repeat in the TLR7 family suggests strongly that "bacterial" and "typical" LRRs evolved from a common precursor and is inferred to play a key role in the structure and/or function of their TLRs.

A deep learning network approach to ab initio protein secondary structure prediction

TL;DR: An SS predictor that makes use of the position-specific scoring matrix generated by PSI-BLAST and deep learning network architectures, which is called DNSS is developed and used to predict SS for a fully independent test dataset of 198 proteins.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Dictionary of protein secondary structure: pattern recognition of hydrogen-bonded and geometrical features

TL;DR: A set of simple and physically motivated criteria for secondary structure, programmed as a pattern‐recognition process of hydrogen‐bonded and geometrical features extracted from x‐ray coordinates is developed.

Protein secondary structure prediction based on position-specific scoring matrices

TL;DR: A two-stage neural network has been used to predict protein secondary structure based on the position specific scoring matrices generated by PSI-BLAST and achieved an average Q3 score of between 76.5% to 78.3% depending on the precise definition of observed secondary structure used, which is the highest published score for any method to date.

Prediction of protein secondary structure at better than 70% accuracy.

TL;DR: A two-layered feed-forward neural network is trained on a non-redundant data base to predict the secondary structure of water-soluble proteins with a new key aspect is the use of evolutionary information in the form of multiple sequence alignments that are used as input in place of single sequences.

GenTHREADER: an efficient and reliable protein fold recognition method for genomic sequences.

TL;DR: The method has been applied to the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium, and analysis of the results shows that as many as 46 % of the proteins derived from the predicted protein coding regions have a significant relationship to a protein of known structure.
