Description:

The CENSOR tool identifies and masks simple and complex sequence repeats found in nucleotide and protein sequences. This workflow uses the EBI's WSCensor web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/censor) to access the tool.

Description:

Perform a literature search using the EBI's CiteXplore service (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/citexplore/), and get the results in a minimal XML format containing the citation information (i.e. title, author, journal, etc.), the identifier of the citation in the source database (PubMed/Medline, Agricola, Patent Abstracts, CBA, CiteSeer, etc.) and information about abstract and full article availablity including URLs.

Description:

Perform a ClustalW multiple sequence alignment using the EBI’s WSClustalW2 service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/clustalw2). The set of sequences to align are the input, the other parameters for the search (see Job_params) are allowed to default.

Note: the WSClustalW2 service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement ClustalW2 services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

Pairwise structure comparison using the DaliLite tool. The EBI's WSDaliLite web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/dalilite) is used to access the tool.

Description:

Run a FASTA or SSEARCH sequence similarity search using the EBI's WSFasta service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/fasta).

Note: the WSFasta service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement FASTA services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

Find protein binary interactions using the EBI's IntAct service.

See http://www.ebi.ac.uk/intact/ for further details.

Description:

Note: the WSInterProScan web service used by this workflow is no longer available haveing been replaced by the EMBL-EBI's InterProScan (REST) (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/pfa/iprscan_rest) and InterProScan (SOAP) (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/pfa/iprscan_soap) web services. Thus the workflow described here no longer works, see the alternative workflows for the InterProScan (SOAP) service for workflows which use the new services.

Perform an InterProScan analysis of a protein sequence using the EBI’s WSInterProScan service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/interproscan). The input sequence to use and the user e-mail address are inputs, the other parameters for the analysis (see Job_params) are allowed to default. InterProScan searches a protein sequence against the protein family and domain signature databases integrated into InterPro (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/). A set of matches to the signatures are returned, which are annotated with the corresponding InterPro and GO term assignments for these signature matches.

Description:

Multiple sequence alignment using the Kalign tool. This workflow uses the EBI's WSKalign service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/kalign) to access the Kalign tool. The set of sequences to align and the molecule type (protein or nucleic acid) are the input, the other parameters for the search (see Job_params) are allowed to default.

Note: the WSKalign service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement Kalign services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

Perform a multiple sequence alignment using the MAFFT tool (see http://align.bmr.kyushu-u.ac.jp/mafft/software/). The EBI's WSMafft web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/mafft) is used to access to tool.

Note: the WSMafft service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement MAFFT services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

Generation of protein backbone and side chain co-ordinates from a C(alpha) trace using the MaxSprout tool. The EBI's WSMaxsprout service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/maxsprout) is used to access the tool.

Description:

Run a Smith-Waterman sequence search using the EBI’s WSMPsrch service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/mpsrch).

Note: the WSMPsrch service used by this workflow was retired 27th January 2010. Equivalent functionality is available in the EBI's FASTA (REST or SOAP) and PSI-Search (REST or SOAP) services.

Description:

Perform a multiple sequence alignment using the MUSCLE tool (see http://www.drive5.com/muscle/). The EBI's WSMuscle web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/muscle) is used.

Note: the WSMuscle service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement MUSCLE services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

Perform a BLAST search using the EBI’s WSNCBIBlast service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/ncbiblast). The query sequence, database to search and BLAST program to use are inputs, the other parameters for the search (see Job_params) are allowed to default.

Note: the WSNCBIBlast service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new development. This service is will be retired during 2011. EBI's replacement NCBI BLAST services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

Description:

The Phobius tool predicts transmembrane domains and signal peptide region from a protein sequence. This workflow uses the EBI's WSPhobius web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/phobius) to access the tool. The predicted features are returned in a UniProtKB style feature listing.

Description:

Perform a Smith-Waterman sequence similarity search using the ScanPS tool (see http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/Software/Scanps/scanps.html). In the case the EBI's WSScanPS web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/scanps) is used to run the tool.

Note: the WSScanPS service used by this workflow was retired 27th January 2010. Equivalent functionality is available in the EBI's FASTA (REST or SOAP) and PSI-Search (REST or SOAP) services.

Description:
