List of disorder prediction software

Computational methods exploit the sequence signatures of disorder to predict whether a protein is disordered, given its amino acid sequence. The table below, which was originally adapted from and has been recently updated, shows the main features of software for disorder prediction. Note that different software use different definitions of disorder.
