ProtComp - Version 4: Program for Identification of sub-cellular localization 
of Eukaryotic proteins: Animal/Fungi - Plants

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New release of our program for predicting protein sub-cellular localization, 

ProtComp http://www.softberry.com/protein.html

 incorporates recognition of GPI-anchor sites and some other improvements. 

The third release of ProtComp includes separately trained recognizers for 
animal/fungal 
and plant proteins. Such separation dramatically improves recognition accuracy, 
which 
for major compartments, such as plasma membrane, nuclear, extracellular, 
achieves 70-90% level. 

The program is based on complex neural-network recognizers, which identify 
probability 
of the subcellular localization in nucleus, plasma membrane, extracellular, 
cytoplasmic, 
mitochondrial, chloroplast, endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomal, lysosomal or 
Golgi compartments. 
Example of Output results: Presents scores for different networks and the final 
conclusion.
