7.4 Results of a CDART Search
These are described in Figure 5. The protein “hits”, which have similar domain
architectures to the query sequence, can be further refined by taxonomic group, in which
the results can be limited to selected nodes of the taxonomic tree. Furthermore, search
results may be limited to those that contain only particular conserved domains.
Figure 5: A CDART results page.
At the
top
of the CDART results page, the query sequence CDs are
represented as “beads on a string”. Each CD had a unique color and shape and is labeled both in the display
itself and in a legend located at the
bottom
of the page. The shapes representing CDs are hyperlinked to the
corresponding CD summary page. The matching proteins to the query are listed
below
the query, ranked
according to the number of non-redundant hits to the domains in the query sequence. Each match is either a
single protein, in which case its Accession number is shown, or is a cluster of very similar proteins, in
which case the number of members in the cluster is shown. Cluster members can be displayed by selecting
the logo to the
left
of its diagram. Selecting any protein Accession number displays the flat file for that
protein. To the
right
of any drawing for a single protein (either on the main results page or after expanding
a protein cluster) is a
more>
link, which displays the CD-Search results page for the selected protein so that
the sequence alignment, e.g., of a CDART hit with a CD contained in the original protein of interest, can be
examined.
