Figure 1From: ProPhylo: partial phylogenetic profiling to guide protein family construction and assignment of biological processFlowchart for profile search using ProPhylo with the Partial Phylogenetic Profile algorithm (PPP). For each step, the relevant software name is indicated. (A) Creation of a profile from various search methods or directly using a set of GenBank GIs. (B) The created profile is a tab delimited text file containing a set of taxonomic IDs from NCBI taxonomic database and 1's and 0's for the presence and absence of the query protein family. (C) The main script ppp.pl searches a given genome using the query profile and generates results as a ranked list of candidate functionally linked proteins.Back to article page
