Abstract

CoPreTHi is a Java based web application, which combines the results of methods that predict the location of transmembane segments in protein sequences into a joint prediction histogram. Clearly, the joint prediction algorithm, produces superior quality results than individual prediction schemes. The program is available at http://o2.db.uoa.gr/CoPreTHi.

Key words: Joint prediction, transmembrane proteins, Web-tool, Java interface
