kprotpars

 

Function

Protein parsimony algorithm using protpars

Description

kprotpars is protein parsimony algorithm utilizing "protpars" methods provided in PHYLIP web service.

Following block is a quotation from fprotpars included in PHYLIPNEW package. Estimates phylogenies from protein sequences (input using the standard one-letter code for amino acids) using the parsimony method, in a variant which counts only those nucleotide changes that change the amino acid, on the assumption that silent changes are more easily accomplished. PHYLIP web service is provided by National University of Singapore. Original web-service is located at the following URL:

http://bioportal.bic.nus.edu.sg/phylip/protpars.html

This tools is a subset of Keio Bioinformatics Web Service (KBWS) package, which contains interfaces to bioinformatics web services through a proxy server at Keio University. kprotpars is thus an interface of "runProtpars" method included in KBWS SOAP service. This method can be alternatively accessed directly from programming languages as SOAP web service. Please refer to the KBWS online documentations http://soap.g-language.org/kbws/ for more information.
