Bamboo: Bayesian Model of Protein Primary Sequence for Secondary Structure Prediction

Welcome to the Bamboo website which provides software for the methods described in the paper:

Q. Li, D. B. Dahl, M. Vannucci, H. Joo, J. W. Tsai (2014), Bayesian Model of Protein Primary Sequence for Secondary Structure Prediction, PLOS ONE, 9(10), e109832. Paper

The software is available in two ways:

  1. Through the web app below, and
  2. As the stand-alone R package bamboo.
To install the package, run the following code at the R prompt: install.packages("bamboo")

We ask that you use the R package instead of our web app if you need to obtain secondary structure predictions for many proteins. Further, the R package can use training data different from those in the paper.

This work is supported by NIH NIGMS R01 GM104972.
