A new cuticular protein family prediction tool to aid functional annotation has been published.

A new tool is available from the Hamodrakas lab that "allows the accurate detection and classification of putative structural cuticular proteins, from sequence alone, in proteomes". We encourage annotators to read the documentation and try out the tool for the functional annotation of their species.
