 We aim to provide full releases of CATH (CATH-Plus) every 12 months. CATH-Plus adds a significant amount of data on top of the core classification information available in CATH. The CATH-Plus release process includes a number of manual annotation checks in addition to adding a huge amount of information combining protein structure, sequence and function. As a result, there is a greater depth of information available in CATH-Plus, though it may be missing information on the most recent structures. We aim to provide full releases of CATH (CATH-Plus) every 12 months.

 +=== FunFams (Functional Families) ===
 +
 +The homologous superfamilies in CATH-Gene3D can often be functionally and structurally diverse even though they share a conserved structural core. Therefore, the superfamilies have been sub-classified into functional families (FunFams) using a subclassification protocol purely based on sequence patterns. Relatives within these FunFams are likely to share highly similar structures and functions. The FunFams are useful in function prediction and in providing information on the evolution of function.
 +
 +=== Structural clusters ===
 +
 +The structures within a homologous superfamily have been clustered at < 9 Å RMSD to form structural clusters, also known as structurally-similar groups (SSGs). These structural clusters are useful for understanding the structural diversity of a superfamily.
 +
 +=== Structural superpositions ===
 +
 +The conserved structural core in the homologous superfamilies can be observed from the structural superpositions generated from its representative domains by [[cath_tools#cath_tools|CATH Tools]]. It is an effective way of observing the structural conservation and diversity across the superfamily.
