PhyloFacts: an online structural phylogenomic encyclopedia for protein functional and structural classification

Genome Biol. 2006;7(9):R83. doi: 10.1186/gb-2006-7-9-r83.

Abstract

The Berkeley Phylogenomics Group presents PhyloFacts, a structural phylogenomic encyclopedia containing almost 10,000 'books' for protein families and domains, with pre-calculated structural, functional and evolutionary analyses. PhyloFacts enables biologists to avoid the systematic errors associated with function prediction by homology through the integration of a variety of experimental data and bioinformatics methods in an evolutionary framework. Users can submit sequences for classification to families and functional subfamilies. PhyloFacts is available as a worldwide web resource from http://phylogenomics.berkeley.edu/phylofacts.
