This is package is a Galaxy workflow for the identification of candidate
secreted proteins from a given protein FASTA file.

It runs SignalP v3.0 (Bendtsen et al. 2004) and selects only proteins with a
strong predicted signal peptide, and then runs TMHMM v2.0 (Krogh et al. 2001)
on those, and selects only proteins without a predicted trans-membrane helix.
This workflow was used in Kikuchi et al. (2011), and is a simplification of
the candidate effector protocol described in Jones et al. (2009).

See http://www.galaxyproject.org for information about the Galaxy Project.


Sample Data
===========

This workflow was developed and run on several nematode species. For example,
try the protein set for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Kikuchi et al. 2011):

ftp://ftp.sanger.ac.uk/pub/pathogens/Bursaphelenchus/xylophilus/Assembly-v1.2/BUX.v1.2.genedb.protein.fa.gz

You can upload this directly into Galaxy via this URL. Galaxy will handle
removing the gzip compression to give you the FASTA protein file which has
18,074 sequences. The expected result (selecting organism type Eukaryote)
is a FASTA protein file of 2,297 predicted secreted protein sequences.

Availability
============

This workflow is available to download and/or install from the main
Galaxy Tool Shed:

http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/secreted_protein_workflow

Test releases (which should not normally be used) are on the Test Tool Shed:

http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/secreted_protein_workflow

Development is being done on github here:

https://github.com/peterjc/picobio/tree/master/galaxy_workflows/secreted_protein_workflow


Dependencies
============

These dependencies should be resolved automatically via the Galaxy Tool Shed:

* http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/tmhmm_and_signalp
* http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/seq_filter_by_id

However, at the time of writing those Galaxy tools have their own
dependencies required for this workflow which require manual
installation (SignalP v3.0 and TMHMM v2.0).
