The Sequence Search Algorithm Assessment and Testing Toolkit (SAT) aims to be a complete package for the comparison of different protein homology search algorithms. The structural classification of proteins can provide us with a clear criterion for judgment in homology detection. There have been several assessments based on structural sequences with classifications but a good deal of similar work is now being repeated with locally developed procedures and programs. The SAT will provide developers with a complete package which will save time and produce more comparable performance assessments for search algorithms. The package is complete in the sense that it provides a non-redundant large sequence resource database, a well-characterized query database of proteins domains, all the parsers and some previous results from PSI-BLAST and a hidden markov model algorithm.
