DILIMOT -- discovery of linear motifs in proteins
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.
