pepstats (EBI)

pepstats (EBI) computes statistics of protein sequences and properties to support sequence-based protein characterization and integration with EMBL-EBI data resources.

Key Features:

• Protein property statistics: Calculates numerical statistics for protein sequences and properties derived from input amino acid sequences.
• Sequence analysis capabilities: Supports a broad spectrum of sequence analyses leveraging established bioinformatics applications.
• Integration with EMBL-EBI resources: Connects to UniProt, InterPro, ENA, and Ensembl Genomes for linked data retrieval and annotation.
• API access: Provides RESTful and SOAP-based APIs for programmatic submission and retrieval of results.
• EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher framework: Operates within the EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher framework to access core analytical tools and data resources.
• Data visualization for interpretation: Produces visual outputs to aid interpretation of computed protein statistics and complex data sets.

Scientific Applications:

• Protein characterization: Generates quantitative descriptors of proteins to inform studies of structure, function, and interactions.
• Genomics and proteomics data integration: Facilitates combined analyses using sequence-derived statistics linked to UniProt, InterPro, ENA, and Ensembl Genomes data.

Methodology:

Implements computations within the EMBL-EBI Job Dispatcher framework and exposes RESTful and SOAP APIs to access and process sequence data retrieved from UniProt, InterPro, ENA, and Ensembl Genomes.
