> We are considering running a Distributed Annotation System workshop Great, I would like to come and could prepare a presentation on a work which has been submitted as a poster by Rafael Jimenez and me to the VizBi 2010:
"Visualization of sequence features with Dasty and STRAP" Protein sequence features such as post-translational modifications of amino acids, cleavage sites, catalytic site residues and ligand binding sites, are recorded by data curators from all over the world and stored in public databases. The collections of sequence features are accessible via DAS servers. Here we present two sequence feature viewers - Dasty http://www.ebi.ac.uk/dasty/ and STRAP http://www.bioinformatics.org/strap/ . They are complementary in several aspects, therefore, they can be used in concert. Both have in common that they load sequence features from any registered DAS server and display the up-to-data information along the amino acid sequence. Dasty gives a clear and compact overview of sequence features of one single amino acid sequence. An outstanding feature is the ability to re-arrange the information using the mouse. To compare sequence features of two homologous proteins or to display sequence features of one protein in the context of a sequence alignment or 3D-structure the user can activate the "STRAP"-button in the Dasty view. In the multiple sequence alignment panel of STRAP, the residues with sequence features are underlined. Textural information is not directly shown due to the limited space, but pops up as a balloon message instead. For structural biologists we also provide the ability to highlight the sequence features on the 3D-model of the protein itself or on a related PDB entry, see http://3d-alignment.eu/.
