+ <strong>JPred Secondary Structure Prediction</strong>
+ <p>
+ Secondary structure prediction methods attempts to infer the likely
+ secondary structure for a protein based on its amino acid
+ composition and similarity to sequences with known secondary
+ structure. The most recent version of the method, JPred4, employs a
+ series of neural networks trained to predict different secondary
+ structure types from a sequence profile, and when necessary, employs
+ a jury network to identify the most likely secondary structure
+ prediction.<br>

+ The function available from the
+ <strong>Web Service→Secondary Structure
+ Prediction→JPred Secondary Structure Prediction</strong> menu does two
+ different kinds of prediction, dependent upon the currently selected
+ region:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>If nothing is selected, and the displayed sequences appear
+ to be aligned, then a JPred prediction will be run for the first
+ sequence in the alignment, using the current alignment. Otherwise
+ the first sequence will be submitted for prediction.</li>
+ <li>If just one sequence (or a region on one sequence) has been
+ selected, it will be submitted to the automatic JPred prediction
+ server for homolog detection and prediction.</li>
+ <li>If a set of sequences are selected, and they appear to be
+ aligned, then the alignment will be used for a JPred prediction on
+ the <strong>first</strong> sequence selected in the set (that is,
+ the one nearest the top of the alignment window).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ <strong>Note</strong>: JPred secondary structure prediction is a
+ 'non-column-separable' service - predictions are based on the
+ sequence profile of contiguous stretches of amino-acid sequence. A
+ prediction will only be made on the visible parts of a sequence (see
+ <a href="../features/hiddenRegions.html">hiding columns</a>) as if
+ it were a contiguous polypeptide chain. Prediction accuracy at the
+ hidden column boundaries may therefore be less than indicated by
+ JPred's own reliability score (see below).
+ </p>
+ <p>The result of a JPred prediction for a sequence is a new
+ annotated alignment window:</p>
+ <img src="jnetprediction.gif">
+ <p>The sequence for which the prediction was made is the first one
+ in the alignment. If a sequence based prediction was made then the
+ remaining sequences in the alignment are the aligned parts of
+ homologs which were used to construct a sequence profile for the
+ prediction. If the prediction was made using a multiple alignment,
+ then the original multiple alignment will be returned, annotated
+ with the prediction.</p>
+ The annotation bars below the alignment are as follows:
