tmap |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
tmap predicts transmembrane segments for an aligned set of protein sequences, utilising the algorithm described in: "Persson, B. & Argos, P. (1994) Prediction of transmembrane segments in proteins utilising multiple sequence alignments J. Mol. Biol. 237, 182-192.". A plot of the propensities to form the middle and the end of transmembrane regions is output. Bars are displayed in the plot above the regions predicted as being most likely to form transmembrane regions. The transmembrane regions for the complete alignment are given first, followed by the predictions for each individual sequence in the alignment.

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl
Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.
The input format can be specified by using the command-line qualifier -sformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: gff (gff3), gff2, embl (em), genbank (gb, refseq), ddbj, refseqp, pir (nbrf), swissprot (swiss, sw), dasgff and debug.
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html for further information on sequence formats.

Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html for further information on supported devices.

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the command-line qualifier -rformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required format. The available format names are: embl, genbank, gff, pir, swiss, dasgff, debug, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, draw, restrict, excel, feattable, motif, nametable, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq.

![[tmap results]](tmap.1.tmap.gif)
A plot of the propensities to form the middle (solid line) and the end (dashed line) of transmembrane regions is output.
Bars are displayed in the plot above the regions predicted as being most likely to form transmembrane regions.
The text file (specified by the -outfile option) gives a summary of these regions.
The transmembrane regions for the complete alignment are given first, followed by the predictions for each individual sequence in the alignment.
Two sets of transmembrane propensity values are then used for the calculations: one for the middle, hydrophobic portion and one for the terminal regions of the transmembrane sequence spans. Average propensity values are calculated for each position along the alignment, with the contribution from each sequence weighted according to its dissimilarity relative to the other aligned sequences.
Eight-residue segments are considered as potential cores of transmembrane segments and elongated if thier middle propensity values are above a threshold. End propensity values are also considered as stop signals. Only helices with a length of 15 to 29 residues are allowed and corrections for strictly conserved charged residues are made.
The method is more successful than predictions based upon single sequences alone.
