prot4EST

EST protein translation suite

Current version 3.0b released on 21 June 2010

DOWNLOAD from compsysbio.org

prot4EST is a suite of programs that takes expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and translates them optimally to produce putative peptides. prot4EST intergrates a number of programs to overcome problems inherent with translating ESTs. prot4EST and all of the external programs are freely available to academic researchers.

prot4EST was developed by James Wasmuth when he was a PhD student in the Blaxter lab. He is now in John Parkinson's group in Toronto, and the software is available from his website. We recommend you get the newest version - it is so much easier to use, and is much more fully featured.

Ascaris suum

The pig-parasitic nematode Ascaris suum.
Ascarids are gut and tissue parasites of a wide range of vertebrates, including humans. This species infects pigs worldwide, and can cause human disease; it is used as a model for the human parasite A. lumbricoides to which it is very closely related. See NEMBASE4 for analyses of ESTs from this parasite and many other nematodes.
