Prediction of Intrinsic Disorder in Proteins Using MFDp2
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are either entirely disordered or contain disordered regions in their native state. IDPs were found to be abundant across all kingdoms of life, particularly in eukaryotes, and are implicated in numerous cellular processes. Experimental annotation of disorder lags behind the rapidly growing sizes of the protein databases and thus computational methods are used to close this gap and to investigate the disorder. MFDp2 is a novel webserver for accurate sequence-based prediction of protein disorder which also outputs well-described sequence-derived information that allows profiling the p...

New NCBI Insights blog: NCBI Remap tool helps you transition to newest human reference genome assembly, GRCh38
NCBI’s Genome Remapping Service (NCBI Remap) allows you to map annotation data from one genomic assembly to another for a selected set of organisms. This may be particularly helpful in updating your annotations for the human reference genome assembly, which has recently been updated to the new version, GRCh38. The newest blog post on NCBI Insights describes how Remap works and how it allows you to analyze data in the context of the newest genome assembly. Finally, the blog post provides links to Remap-related documentation including an overview, FAQs, and a YouTube tutorial.
