Output format

The first part shows the name and length of the sequence followed by the amino acid sequence. Then follows an assignment field describing the predicted category for each residue. If the residue is predicted NOT to be phosphorylated, either because the score is below the threshold or because the residue is not Ser, Thr, or Tyr, that position is marked by a dot ('.'). Residues having a prediction score above the threshold are indicated by 'S', 'T' or 'Y', respectively.

Below the assignment line, the number of predicted S/T/Y phosphorylation sites is shown.

The second part describes the predictions for each type of residue (Ser, Thr or Tyr).

• Column 1:   sequence name
• Column 2:   position of the residue being analyzed
• Column 3:   sequence context (shown as a 9-residue sequence centered on the residue being analyzed)
• Column 4:   output score (value in the range [0.000-1.000])
• Column 5:   assigment (scores above the threshold of 0.500 are assigned as '*S*', '*T*', or '*Y*')

The third part is a graph illustrating the predictions (can be omitted if the 'Generate graphics' button has been un-checked).

Example

In the example below, T-7, S-18, Y-19, and Y-23 are predicted as potential phosphorylation sites. S-18 has a score of 0.942 indicating a very likely phosphorylation site, whereas Y-19 has a score of only 0.502. The latter score is  just barely above the threshold  (0.500) and indicates that the confidence for this site being a true phosphorylation site is quite low.

In general the higher the score, the higher the confidence of the prediction and the higher the similarity to one or more of the phosphorylation sites used in training the method.
