Note:
We have stopped supporting the old RAPTOR server. Starting from CASP9, we
are going to use our new threading method described in the following two
papers.
1.
Jian Peng and Jinbo Xu. Boosting
protein threading accuracy. RECOMB 2009.
2.
Jian Peng and Jinbo Xu. Low-homology
protein threading. Submitted to ISMB 2010.
The first paper describes a general CRF method for protein threading,
while the second paper describes how to use the CRF method developed in the
first paper to do low-homology protein threading.
A web server combing our new threading method with the ItFix loop modeling (from Sosnick
group) will start to operate very soon (before CASP9 starts).
RAPTOR Server for Protein Structure Prediction
(Version 2.0)
RAPTOR is one of the best protein structure
prediction servers. It performs very well in recent CASPs (Third Critical Assessment
of Structure. For papers describing RAPTOR, please go to my research page.
RAPTOR can run as a server or a standalone
application on Windows, Linux, Solaris, IRIX, HP-UX, OSF, and Mac OS. RAPTOR
can also run on a SMP machine, a cluster system and a massively parallel processing
platform.
A new web
interface for RAPTOR is available at new RAPTOR
server or new RAPTOR
server at BSI . For a trial version or a commercial version of RAPTOR and
its documents, please visit BSI
