    Function
</H2>
Predict and plot transmembrane segments in protein sequences

<H2>
    Description
</H2>

<p><b>tmap</b> 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.</p>

    Input file format
</H2>


<b>tmap</b> reads a set of aligned protein sequences.
<p>
<p>

The input is a standard EMBOSS sequence query (also known as a 'USA').

<p>
Major sequence database sources defined as standard in EMBOSS
installations include srs:embl, srs:uniprot and ensembl

<p>

Data can also be read from sequence output in any supported format
written by an EMBOSS or third-party application.

<p>
The input format can be specified by using the
command-line qualifier <tt>-sformat xxx</tt>, 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.

<p>

See:
<A href="http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/SequenceFormats.html">

    Output file format
</H2>

<p>

The output is to the specified graphics device.

<p>

The results can be output in one of several formats by using the
command-line qualifier <b>-graph xxx</b>, where 'xxx' is replaced by
the name of the required device. Support depends on the availability
of third-party software packages.

<p>
The device names that output to a file are:
ps (postscript), cps (colourps), png, gif, pdf, svg, hpgl, hp7470,
hp7580, das, data.

<p> The other available device names are: meta, x11 (xwindows), tek
(tek4107t), tekt (tektronix), xterm, text.

<p>
Output can be turned off by specifying none (null).

<p>

See:
<A href="http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html">
http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/GraphicsDevices.html</A>
for further information on supported devices.

<p>

<p>
<p>

The output is a standard EMBOSS report file. 

<p>

The results can be output in one of several styles by using the
command-line qualifier <tt>-rformat xxx</tt>, 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.

for further information on report formats.

<p>

<p>
By default the output is in 'seqtable' format.

<p>

A plot of the propensities to form the middle (solid line) and the end
(dashed line) of transmembrane regions is output.

<p>

Bars are displayed in the plot above the regions predicted as being most
likely to form transmembrane regions. 

<p>

The text file (specified by the <tt>-outfile</tt> option) gives a summary
of these regions. 

<p>


The transmembrane regions for the complete alignment are given first,
followed by the predictions for each individual sequence in the
alignment.


<H2>
    Data files
</H2>

None.

<H2>
    Notes
</H2>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The method is more successful than predictions based upon single sequences alone.</p>

The graph y axis is not labelled. It is some kind of score, but we
aer not sure exactly how to describe it.
