FAIRsharing record for: Protein Sequence Culling Server

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Protein Sequence Culling Server (PISCES) is a database with a simple filter-and-download interface created to produce lists of sequences from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) using a number of entry- and chain-specific criteria and mutual sequence identity. The purpose of the database is to provide the longest list possible of the highest resolution structures that fulfil certain sequence identity and structural quality cut-offs. It uses a combination of PSI-BLAST and structure-based alignments to determine sequence identities. PISCES has two ways of producing subsets of sequences from larger sets: 1. Subsets of protein chains and sequences culled from the entire PDB according to structure quality and maximum mutual sequence identity, and 2. Subsets of protein chains and sequences culled from a list of PDB chains or PDB entries input by the user, according to structure quality and maximum mutual sequence identity
