Abstract
Background: Amino acid sequence characterization is a fundamental part of virtually any protein analysis, and creating concise and clear protein topology schemes is of high importance in proteomics studies. Although numerous databases and prediction servers exist, it is challenging to incorporate data from various, and sometimes contending, resources into a publication-ready scheme.
Results: Here, we present the Protein Topology Deviser R package (ProToDeviseR) for the automatic generation of protein topology schemes from database accession numbers, raw results from multiple prediction servers, or a manually prepared table of features. The application offers a graphical user interface, implemented in R Shiny, hosting an enhanced version of Pfam's domains generator for the rendering of visually appealing schemes.
Conclusions: ProToDeviseR can easily and quickly generate topology schemes by interrogating UniProt or NCBI GenPept databases and elegantly combine features from various resources.
期刊介绍:
BMC Bioinformatics is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the development, testing and novel application of computational and statistical methods for the modeling and analysis of all kinds of biological data, as well as other areas of computational biology.
BMC Bioinformatics is part of the BMC series which publishes subject-specific journals focused on the needs of individual research communities across all areas of biology and medicine. We offer an efficient, fair and friendly peer review service, and are committed to publishing all sound science, provided that there is some advance in knowledge presented by the work.
