Benchmarking is used in bioinformatics to compare data resources, tools, and pipelines against those known to be leaders. Discover these resources which can be used for benchmarking!
Use PROSITE's MyDomains tool to generate publication-quality images illustrating a protein's domain architecture! The resulting protein diagrams are a great way to communicate information about protein structure and function.
Search through millions of published DNA, RNA and protein records stored in public databases around the world in a matter of seconds with MetaGraph! The tool works by indexing the data and presenting them in compressed form - more in the Nature article.
Ask questions about the protein-protein interaction data in STRING to the new STRING chat! It "speaks" multiple languages.
OpenStructure, the open-source molecular modelling environment that powers two SIB resources, SWISS-MODEL and CAMEO, recently introduced a bench marking suite to evaluate theoretical models against gold-standard reference structures. Read about it in this pre-print!
Use LipID Mapper, a SwissLipids service, to convert lipid identifiers between SwissLipids, ChEBI, LIPID MAPS, and HMDB, or to retrieve associated Rhea reaction or UniProtKB protein identifiers.
Revamped web site alert! ViralZone provides general molecular and epidemiological information, along with re-usable virion and genome figures, for all viral genera and families.
Interested in carbohydrates, lectins and more? A new release of Glyco@Expasy, a portal to web-based glycoinformatics resources developed world-wide, is out!
