EMBOSS sigcleave

sigcleave predicts the site of cleavage between a signal sequence and the mature exported protein using the method of von Heijne. It reads one or more protein sequences and writes a standard EMBOSS report with the position, length and score of each predicted signal sequence. Optionally, you may specify the sequence is prokaryotic and this will change the default scoring data file used. The predictive accuracy is estimated to be around 75-80% for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins.

Quick Start

To use sigcleave,

  1. upload your input protein data in most format, such as fasta, GenBank, Embl, or Emsembl, gcg formats.
  2. Choose your option, such as minimum weight score
  3. launch your job

Test Data

Input File
