Abstract
The ASTRAL compendium provides several databases and tools to aid in the analysis of protein structures, particularly through the use of their sequences. The SPACI scores included in the system summarize the overall characteristics of a protein structure. A structural alignments database indicates residue equivalencies in superimposed protein domain structures. The PDB sequence-map files provide a linkage between the amino acid sequence of the molecule studied (SEQRES records in a database entry) and the sequence of the atoms experimentally observed in the structure (ATOM records). These maps are combined with information in the SCOP database to provide sequences of protein domains. Selected subsets of the domain database, with varying degrees of similarity measured in several different ways, are also available. ASTRAL may be accessed at http://astral.stanford.edu/

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

Semi-Supervised Learning

TL;DR: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) as discussed by the authors is the middle ground between supervised learning (in which all training examples are labeled) and unsupervised training (where no label data are given).

PISCES: a protein sequence culling server

TL;DR: PISCES is a public server for culling sets of protein sequences from the Protein Data Bank by sequence identity and structural quality criteria and provides better lists than servers that use BLAST, which is unable to identify many relationships below 40% sequence identity.

The Jpred 3 secondary structure prediction server

TL;DR: The new JPred 3 server includes significant usability improvements that include clearer feedback of the progress or failure of submitted requests and a new software pipeline will enable Jnet/Jpred to continue to be updated in sync with major updates to SCOP and UniProt and so ensures that Jpred 3 will maintain high-accuracy predictions.
