Function

   Predicts protein secondary structure

Description

   This is an implementation of the original Garnier Osguthorpe Robson
   algorithm (GOR I) for predicting protein secondary structure.

   Secondary structure prediction is notoriously difficult to do
   accurately. The GOR I alogorithm is one of the first semi-successful
   methods.

   The Garnier method is not regarded as the most accurate prediction,
   but is simple to calculate on most workstations.

   The accuracy of any secondary structure prediction program is not much
   better than 70% to 80% at best. This is an early algorithm and will
   probably not predict with much better than about 65% accuracy.

   The Web servers for PHD, DSC, and others are generally preferred.

   Do not rely on this (or any other) program alone to make your
   predictions with. Use several programs and take a consensus of the
   results.

Usage

   Here is a sample session with garnier

Predicts protein secondary structure
Input protein sequence(s): tsw:amic_pseae
Output report [amic_pseae.garnier]:

Command line arguments

   Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers:
  [-sequence]          seqall     Protein sequence(s) filename and optional
                                  format, or reference (input USA)
  [-outfile]           report     [*.garnier] Output report file name

   Additional (Optional) qualifiers: (none)
   Advanced (Unprompted) qualifiers:
   -idc                integer    [0] In their paper, GOR mention that if you
                                  know something about the secondary structure
                                  content of the protein you are analyzing,
                                  you can do better in prediction. 'idc' is an
                                  index into a set of arrays, dharr[] and
                                  dsarr[], which provide 'decision constants'
                                  (dch, dcs), which are offsets that are
                                  applied to the weights for the helix and
                                  sheet (extend) terms. So, idc=0 says don't
                                  use the decision constant offsets, and idc=1
                                  to 6 indicates that various combinations of
                                  dch,dcs offsets should be used. (Integer
                                  from 0 to 6)

Output file format

   The output is a standard EMBOSS report file.

   The results can be output in one of several styles by using the
   command-line qualifier -rformat xxx, where 'xxx' is replaced by the
   name of the required format. The available format names are: embl,
   genbank, gff, pir, swiss, trace, listfile, dbmotif, diffseq, excel,
   feattable, motif, regions, seqtable, simple, srs, table, tagseq

   See: http://emboss.sf.net/docs/themes/ReportFormats.html for further
   information on report formats.

   By default garnier writes a 'tagseq' report file.

Notes

   The Garnier method is not regarded as the most accurate prediction,
   but is simple to calculate on most workstations.

   The Web servers for PHD, DSC, and others are generally preferred.

   Do not rely on this (or any other) program alone to make your
   predictions with. Use several programs and take a consensus of the
   results.

   The 3D structure for the example sequence is known, although the 2D
   structure elements were not in the SwissProt feature table for release
   38 when the test data was extracted.

Warnings

   The accuracy of any secondary structure prediction program is not much
   better than 70% to 80% at best. This is an early algorithm and will
   probably not predict with much better than about 65% accuracy.

   You are advised to use several of the latest Web-based prediction
   sites and combine them to make a consensus prediction.
