What you can do: Predict short linear motifs (3-8 residues) in a set of protein sequences.
Highlights:
  • DILIMOT (DIscovery of LInear MOTifs) is a server for the prediction of these short linear motifs within a set of proteins. Given a set of sequences sharing a common functional feature (e.g. interaction partner or localization) the method finds statistically over-represented motifs likely to be responsible for it.
  • The input sequences are first passed through a set of filters to remove regions unlikely to contain instances of linear motifs.
  • Motifs are then found in the remaining sequence and ranked according to a statistic that measure over-representation and conservation across homologues in related species.
Keywords:
  • protein sequence analysis tool
  • protein sequence motif prediction tool
