| Popis | Structures in PDB tend to contain errors. This is a very serious issue for authors that rely on such potentially problematic data. The community of structural biologists develops validation methods as countermeasures, which are also included in the PDB deposition system. But how are these validation efforts influencing the structure quality of subsequently published data? Which quality aspects are improving, and which remain problematic? We developed ValTrendsDB, a database that provides the results of an extensive exploratory analysis of relationships between quality criteria, size and metadata of biomacromolecules. Key input data are sourced from PDB. The discovered trends are presented via precomputed information-rich plots. ValTrendsDB also supports the visualization of a set of user-defined structures on top of general quality trends. Therefore, ValTrendsDB enables users to see the quality of structures published by selected author, laboratory or journal, discover quality outliers, etc. ValTrendsDB is updated weekly. ValTrendsDB is freely accessible at http://ncbr.muni.cz/ValTrendsDB. The web interface was implemented in JavaScript. The database was implemented in C++. |
