Phylogenetic Web Profiler (PWP) is a web-based service designed to perform phylogenetic profiling of proteins against genomes. The current version offers a selection of 63 completed genomes and available plasmids as annotated in the PEDANT genome database. Unlike currently available applications, this tool offers several choices of ortholog prediction parameters including E-value cutoff, percent length difference tolerance, and annotation similarity. Additional features include tight integration with the PEDANT database and tools to analyze properties of predicted proteins. PWP should prove very useful for the analysis of functional-linkage between proteins.
