1. Specify the input sequences
All the input sequences must be in one-letter amino acid
code. The allowed alphabet (not case sensitive) is as follows:
A C D E F G H I K L M N P Q R S T V W Y and X (unknown)
All the other symbols will be converted to X before processing. The
sequences can be input in the following two ways:
-
Paste a single sequence (just the amino acids) or a number of sequences in
FASTA
format into the upper window of the main server page.
-
Select a FASTA
file on your local disk, either by typing the file name into the lower window
or by browsing the disk.
Both ways can be employed at the same time: all the specified sequences will
be processed. However, there may be not more than 100 sequences in one submission. Sequences shorter than 15
or longer than 4000 amino acids will be ignored.
2. Customize your run
By default the output is in GFF; click on 'short' for a simpler output (see the Output format section for descriptions and
examples).
3. Submit the job
Click on the
"Submit" button. The status of your job (either 'queued'
or 'running') will be displayed and constantly updated until it terminates and
the server output appears in the browser window.
At any time during the wait you may enter your e-mail address and simply leave
the window. Your job will continue; you will be notified by e-mail when it has
terminated. The e-mail message will contain the URL under which the results are
stored; they will remain on the server for 24 hours for you to collect them.
