GeneCensus
Comparison of the Fold Usage in
Worm vs. Yeast

This page provides data on the comparative analysis of the worm and yeast in terms of protein structures. It is part of an overall effort on large-scale, structural censuses of the sequence databanks and functions as supplementary material for work currently under review. It is commentary on the recent paper and website.

3. Specific analysis tables for each genome

Click on an abbreviation name for a list of local tables pertinent to each genome. These tables make extensive use of the idea of "masking" various regions of the genome. (Help on this idea.)
