I have used a bioperl module called sigcleave.pm, and compared it
with the signal P web server results, see:
http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP-2.0/
If there are discrepancies I recommend the signalP2 results over
sigcleave. This is all PC based stuff, bioperl requires perl, in
linux this is easy, for windows google search for activeperl (free
from activestate but I can't remeber the url).
Hope this is useful.
Regards
Nick
