ProtVista: visualization of protein sequence annotations

Bioinformatics. 2017 Jul 1;33(13):2040-2041. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btx120.

Abstract

Summary: ProtVista is a comprehensive visualization tool for the graphical representation of protein sequence features in the UniProt Knowledgebase, experimental proteomics and variation public datasets. The complexity and relationships in this wealth of data pose a challenge in interpretation. Integrative visualization approaches such as provided by ProtVista are thus essential for researchers to understand the data and, for instance, discover patterns affecting function and disease associations.
