2dSS: a web server for protein secondary structure visualization
2dSS is a web-server for visualising and comparing secondary structure predictions. It provides two main functionalities: 2D-alignment and compare predictions. The \"2D-alignment\" has been designed to visualise conserved secondary structure elements in a multiple sequence alignment (MSA). From this we can study the secondary structure content of homologous proteins (a protein family) and highlight its structural patterns. The \"compare predictions\" has been designed to compare the output of several secondary structure prediction tools, and check their accuracy when compared with real secondary structure elements extracted from 3D-structure. 2dSS provides a comprehensive representation of protein secondary structure elements, and it can be used to visualise and compare secondary structures of any prediction tool.\n\nAvailabilityhttp://genome.lcqb.upmc.fr/2dss/
