signalHsmm - prediction of signal peptides
Description
Using hidden semi-Markov models as a probabilistic framework, signalHsmm is new, highly accurate signal peptide predictor for eukaryotic proteins.
Details
Secretory signal peptides are short (20-30 residues) N-terminal amino acid sequences tagging among others tag among others hormons, immune system proteins, structural proteins, and metabolic enzymes. They direct a protein to the endomembrane system and next to the extracellular localization. All signal peptides possess three distinct domains with variable length and characteristic amino acid composition. Despite their variability, signal peptides are universal enough to direct properly proteins in different secretory systems. For example, artifically introduced bacterial signal peptides can guide proteins in mammals and plants.
The development of signalHsmm was funded by National Science Center (2015/17/N/NZ2/01845).
