This is a shorter version of a talk titled "Boosting the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction through nearest-neighbor search and method hybridization." It covers the ISMB 2020 proceedings paper by Spencer Krieger and John Kececioglu with the same title that describes a fast template-based method for protein secondary structure prediction, that when hybridized with a separate template-free tool produces predictions that outperform all state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy. This method is implemented in the open-source software tool Nnessy, which is available at nnessy.cs.arizona.edu.
