DoMosaics: software for domain arrangement visualization and domain-centric analysis of proteins

Bioinformatics. 2014 Jan 15;30(2):282-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btt640. Epub 2013 Nov 12.

Abstract

DoMosaics is an application that unifies protein domain annotation, domain arrangement analysis and visualization in a single tool. It simplifies the analysis of protein families by consolidating disjunct procedures based on often inconvenient command-line applications and complex analysis tools. It provides a simple user interface with access to domain annotation services such as InterProScan or a local HMMER installation, and can be used to compare, analyze and visualize the evolution of domain architectures.
