The EPipe 1.0 server performs comparative analysis of proteins derived
from the same transcript by alternative splicing. The analysis is automated:
the input proteins are first processed by a number of analysis and prediction
methods, the results are then remapped onto a multiple alignment and compared.
All the differences found between the isoforms are reported in detail. It is
also possible to view the complete analysis and prediction results.
NOTE 1: This service is under development; new analysis and
prediction methods are being added, the output format is being refined etc.
As many external tools are called special attention is given to the overall
speed of the service. Documentation is in preparation.
NOTE 2: EPipe is dependent on a number of other programs that
have to be run on the input sequences prior to the comparative analysis.
Therefore, the processing of multiple sequences may be time-consuming.
In the case of prolonged wait the user is advised to use the e-mail option:
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.
