Studying proteins through the lens of evolution can help identify conserved features and lineage-specific variants, and potentially, their functions. MolEvolvR (http://jravilab.org/molevolvr) is a web-app that enables researchers to run a general-purpose computational workflow for characterizing the molecular evolution and phylogeny of their proteins of interest. The web-app accepts input in multiple formats: protein/domain sequences, homologous proteins, or domain scans. MolEvolvR returns detailed homolog data, along with dynamic graphical summaries, e.g., MSA, phylogenetic trees, domain architectures, domain proximity networks, phyletic spreads, and co-occurrence patterns across lineages. Thus, MolEvolvR provides a powerful, easy-to-use interface for computational protein characterization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
