pepnet |
Please help by correcting and extending the Wiki pages.
pepnet draws a helical net for an input protein sequence. This is a method of displaying the residues of a protein in a simple 3,4,3,4 repeating pattern that emulates at a simple level the arrangement of residues around an alpha helix. It is therefore easy to see patterns of amphipathicity that you may wish to investigate in more detail by using displays such as pepwheel. You can specify which residues to mark up in squares, diamonds and octagons.

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.

The output is to the specified graphics device.
The results can be output in one of several formats by using the command-line qualifier -graph xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the name of the required device. Support depends on the availability of third-party software packages.
The device names that output to a file are: ps (postscript), cps (colourps), png, gif, pdf, svg, hpgl, hp7470, hp7580, das, data.
The other available device names are: meta, x11 (xwindows), tek (tek4107t), tekt (tektronix), xterm, text.
Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).
See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html for further information on supported devices.
