Function

Generation of sequence logos using WebLogo

Description

kweblogo is a sequence logo generator utilizing WebLogo. WebLogo is a web based application designed to make the generation of sequence logos as easy and painless as possible. Sequence Logos are a graphical representation of an amino acid or nucleic acid multiple sequence alignment developed by Tom Schneider and Mike Stephens.

kweblogo utilizing WebLogo web service provided by University of California, Berkeley. Original web-service is located at the following URL:

http://weblogo.berkeley.edu/logo.cgi

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. kweblogo is thus an interface of "runWeblogo" 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.
