Sequence_or_ID (1)

• Download

Given a sequence or sequence entry identifer (e.g. uniprot:wap_rat), return the sequence in fasta format. If a sequence identifier, in database:identifier format, is input the EBI's WSDbfetch web service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/dbfetch) is used to retrive the sequence in fasta format. Otherwise the input is assumed to be a sequence and if passed through the Soaplab EMBOSS seqret service to force the sequence into fasta format.

Protein_alignment_transmembrane (1)

• Download

Transmembrane domain prediction using EMBOSS tmap with an input sequence alignment of homolouges: Sequence similarity search (SSS) to find homologues Fetch sequences of hits Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of hit sequences EMBOSS tmap with alignment from 3. Uses the EBI web services: WSFasta (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/fasta) WSDbfetch (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/dbfetch) WSClustalW2 (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/servic...

EBI_WU-BLAST (1)

• Download

Perform a BLAST search using the EBI's WSWUBlast service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/wublast). The default parameters search UniProtKB using blastp. To change the job parameters see Job_params. Note: the WSWUBlast 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 WU-BLAST services (REST or SOAP) should be used instead.

EBI_dbfetch_fetchBatch (1)

• Download

From a list of sequence entry identifiers and a database name, fetch the sequences in fasta format using EBI's WSDbfetch service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/wsdl/WSDbfetch.wsdl).

EBI FASTA with prompts (3)

• Download

Run a FASTA analysis using the EBI’s WSFasta service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/fasta). This workflow wraps the EBI_FASTA workflow to provide a basic user interface which prompts for the required inputs: sequence, database, FASTA program and user e-mail. Other parameters (e.g. matrix, gap penalties, etc.) are allowed to default. Note: the WSFasta service used by this workflow is deprecated as of 21st September 2010 and should not be used in any new developme...

EBI_ClustalW_alignment_tree (2)

• Download

Given a set of sequences perform an multiple sequence alignment and from the multiple alignment derive a phylogenetic tree. The popular ClustalW program (see http://www.clustal.org/), as implemented in the EBI's WSClustalW2 service (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/services/clustalw2) is used to perform both tasks.

Nucleotide_ORF_translation (1)

• Download

From a nucleotide sequence get the protein translations of the open reading frames (stop to stop) that are longer than a specifed minimum length. EMBOSS getorf is used to find the ORFs and perform the translations. The getorf tool is accessed via Soaplab (see http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/webservices/soaplab/overview).

EBI_Phobius (2)

• Download

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.
