Learning protein structural similarity from sequence alone. Our preprint can be found here
DeepBLAST is a neural-network based alignment algorithm that can estimate structural alignments. And it can generate structural alignments that are nearly identical to
state-of-the-art structural alignment algorithms.
DeepBLAST can be installed from pip via
pip install deepblast
To install from the development branch run
pip install git+https://github.com/flatironinstitute/deepblast.git
The pretrained DeepBLAST model can be downloaded here.
The TM-align structural alignments used to pretrain DeepBLAST can be found below
See the Malisam and Malidup websites to download their datasets.
See the wiki on how to use DeepBLAST and TM-vec for remote homology search and alignment. If you have questions on how to use DeepBLAST and TM-vec, feel free to raise questions in the discussions section. If you identify any potential bugs, feel free to raise them in the issuetracker
