Abstract Summary: Protein disorder is characterized by a lack of a stable 3D structure, and is considered to be involved in a number of important protein functions such as regulatory and signalling events. We developed a web application, the POODLE-S, which predicts the disordered region from amino acid sequences by using physicochemical features and reduced amino acid set of a position-specific scoring matrix. Availability: POODLE-S is available from http://mbs.cbrc.jp/poodle/poodle-s.html and can be used by both academic and commercial users. Contact: poodle@cbrc.jp
