  The **PISCES dataset** provides curated sets of protein sequences from the Protein Data Bank (PDB) based on sequence identity and structural quality criteria. PISCES yields **non-redundant subsets of protein chains** by applying filters such as sequence identity, experimental resolution, R-factor, chain length, and experimental method (e.g., X-ray, NMR, cryo-EM). The goal is to maximize structural reliability while minimizing sequence redundancy. Unlike culling tools that rely on BLAST or global alignments, PISCES uses **PSI-BLAST** for position-specific scoring matrices, improving detection of homologs below 40% sequence identity.
