AtSubP2 Tutorial

Introduction

Help section page of AtSubP2, here you will find a step by step guide to submit and display the result of an analysis, as well as the different options regarding prediction on AtSubP2 and what each parameter means. If you have any questions that are not covered in this page please refer to FAQ page or send an email to naveen.duhan@usu.edu. For this tutorial we will use the Demo data, so if you want to replicate the results obtained in this tutorial just click in the load Demo FASTA link.

This website is free and open to all users and there is no login requirement.

Data input

AtSubP2 supports FASTA format. You can either upload a file or paste your sequences in the text area below or provide NCBI/UniProt accession in the text box below. You can upload amino acid sequences after selecting appropriate query sequence type below.

Prediction Models

There are two prediction strategy available in AtSubP-2.0 [Fast, Sensitive]. There is an icon with general information about the tool and a brief explanation on how it works.

    The 'Fast' approach model provides a fast prediction. This approach is useful in annotationg huge number of proteins.

    The 'Sensitive' approach model provides a more sensitive prediction at the cost of longer computation time. This approach is useful in annotationg small number of proteins with high-quality prediction.

Prediction Phases

AtSubP-2.0 runs four levels for Arabidopsis thaliana Subcellular Localization prediction. Users can select any level for prediction and their preceeding levels will be automatically selected. All levels will run by default. There is an icon with general information about the tool and a brief explanation on how it works.

Level I: This is first level where a query sequence is being predicted as single localization or dual localization

Level II: This level will run leve1 first followed by level2 where a query sequence is first predicted as single localization or dual localization followed by classifying single localization into 12 classes. 'Vacuole', 'Cytoplasm', 'Peroxisome', 'Golgi', 'Endoplasmic', 'Memebrane', 'Secreted', 'Cell', 'Mitochondria', 'Endosome', 'Plastid','Nucleus'.

Level III: This level will execute level1 and level2 followed by classifying dual localization in 9 classes. 'Cell-memebrane & Membrane', 'Cytoplasm & Membrane','Endoplasmic reticulum & Membrane','Golgi & Membrane','Membrane & Mitochondria','Membrane & Plastid','Plastid & Mitochondria','Nucleus & Chromosome','Nucleus & Cytoplasm'.

level IV: This phase will execute level1, level2 and level3 followed by classifying Memebrane predicted in level2 into single-pass or multi-pass.

Run Prediction

Run Prediction section contains an input box in which you can provide an email to receive a link to your results when they are done. You can reset the form. Run prediction button will execute the prediction on AtSubP-2.0 server.

Output Example

The result table will change depending of the prediction level used. On the top, you will have download results button, which download the comprehensive table result in tab-delimited format.
