Studying the co-evolution of protein families with the Mirrortree web server

Bioinformatics. 2010 May 15;26(10):1370-1. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btq137. Epub 2010 Mar 30.

Abstract

Summary: The Mirrortree server allows to graphically and interactively study the co-evolution of two protein families, and investigate their possible interactions and functional relationships in a taxonomic context. The server includes the possibility of starting from single sequences and hence it can be used by non-expert users.

Availability and implementation: The web server is freely available at http://csbg.cnb.csic.es/mtserver. It was tested in the main web browsers. Adobe Flash Player is required at the client side to perform the interactive assessment of co-evolution.
