Function

Predicts protein localization for WoLF PSORT

Description

kwolfpsort predicts the subcellular localization sites of proteins based on their amino acid sequences utilizing WoLF PSORT. WoLF PSORT is a mafor extension to the PSORT II program, and makes predictions based on both known sorting signal motifs and some correlative sequene features such as amino acid content.

kwolfpsort utilize WoLF PSORT web service provided by PSORT WWW Server. Original web-service is located at the following URL:

http://wolfpsort.org/

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. kwolfpsort is thus an interface of "runWolfPsort" 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.
