Abstract
InterProScan is a tool that scans given protein sequences against the protein signatures
of the InterPro member databases, currently--PROSITE, PRINTS, Pfam, ProDom and SMART.
The number of signature databases and their associated scanning tools as well as the
further refinement procedures make the problem complex. InterProScan is designed to
be a scalable and extensible system with a robust internal architecture.
The Perl-based InterProScan implementation is available from the EBI ftp server (ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/unix/iprscan/)
and the SRS-basedInterProScan is available upon request. We provide the public web
interface (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/scan.html) as well as email submission server
(interproscan@ebi.ac.uk).
