Bio::Tools::Signalp - parser for Signalp output
Package variables
No package variables defined.
Included modules

base qw ( Bio::Root::Root Bio::Root::IO )
Synopsis
 use Bio::Tools::Signalp;
my $parser = Bio::Tools::Signalp->new(-fh =>$filehandle ); while( my $sp_feat = $parser->next_result ) { if ($sp_feat->score > 0.9) { push @likely_sigpep, $sp_feat; } }
Description
SignalP predicts the presence and location of signal peptide
cleavage sites in amino acid sequences.
Bio::Tools::Signalp parses the output of SignalP to provide a
Bio::SeqFeature::Generic object describing the signal peptide
found, if any. It returns a variety of tags extracted from the NN and HMM
analysis. Most importantly, the score() attribute contains the
NN probability of this being a true signal peptide.
