We have analyzed the performance of majority voting on minimal combination sets of three state-of-the-art secondary structure prediction methods in order to obtain a consensus prediction. Using three large benchmark sets from the EVA server, our results show a significant improvement in the average Q(3) prediction accuracy of up to 1.5 percentage points by consensus formation. The application of an additional trivial filtering procedure for predicted secondary structure elements that are too short, does not significantly affect the prediction accuracy. Our analysis also provides valuable insight into the similarity of the results of the prediction methods that we combine as well as the higher confidence in consistently predicted secondary structure.
