NAME

Bio::Tools::Signalp - parser for Signalp output

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.
