Features

PredictAll
Contact prediction from primary sequence, via multiple iterative database homology search.
Caching results from successful runs.
PconsC takes in the order of hours to run, but output files are small and can be cached to disk at little cost, for instant output when re-running predictions. This is useful to avoid overload e.g. should a course decides to use the service as an example.

Progress

First draft for the service opened for requestors on the production system for comments.
