SignalP 3.0 Server

SignalP 3.0 server predicts the presence and location of signal peptide cleavage sites in amino acid sequences from different organisms: Gram-positive prokaryotes, Gram-negative prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. The method incorporates a prediction of cleavage sites and a signal peptide/non-signal peptide prediction based on a combination of several artificial neural networks and hidden Markov models.

PORTABLE VERSION

Would you prefer to run SignalP at your own site? SignalP 3.0 is available as a stand-alone software package, with the same functionality as the service above. Ready-to-ship packages exist for the most common UNIX platforms. There is a download page for academic users where you can get the newest SignalP version; if you specifically want the 3.0 version, please send a mail to Support. Non-academic users are requested to contact CBS Software Package Manager at software@cbs.dtu.dk.
