**What it does**

This calls the TMHMM v2.0 tool for prediction of transmembrane (TM)  helices in proteins using a hidden Markov model (HMM).

The input is a FASTA file of protein sequences, and the output is tabular with six columns (one row per protein):

====== =====================================================================================
Column Description
------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     1 Sequence identifier
     2 Sequence length
     3 Expected number of amino acids in TM helices (ExpAA). If this number is larger than
       18 it is very likely to be a transmembrane protein (OR have a signal peptide).
     4 Expected number of amino acids in TM helices in the first 60 amino acids of the
       protein (Exp60). If this number more than a few, be aware that a predicted
       transmembrane helix in the N-term could be a signal peptide.
     5 Number of transmembrane helices predicted by N-best.
     6 Topology predicted by N-best (encoded as a strip using o for output and i for inside)
====== =====================================================================================

Predicted TM segments in the n-terminal region sometimes turn out to be signal peptides.

One of the most common mistakes by the program is to reverse the direction of proteins with one TM segment (i.e. mixing up which end of the protein is outside and inside the membrane).

Do not use the program to predict whether a non-membrane protein is cytoplasmic or not. 


**Notes**

The short format output from TMHMM v2.0 looks like this (six columns tab separated, shown here as a table):

=================================== ======= =========== ============= ========= =============================
gi|2781234|pdb|1JLY|B               len=304 ExpAA=0.01  First60=0.00  PredHel=0 Topology=o
gi|4959044|gb|AAD34209.1|AF069992_1 len=600 ExpAA=0.00  First60=0.00  PredHel=0 Topology=o
gi|671626|emb|CAA85685.1|           len=473 ExpAA=0.19  First60=0.00  PredHel=0 Topology=o
gi|3298468|dbj|BAA31520.1|          len=107 ExpAA=59.37 First60=31.17 PredHel=3 Topology=o23-45i52-74o89-106i
=================================== ======= =========== ============= ========= =============================

In order to make it easier to use in Galaxy, the wrapper script simplifies this to remove the redundant tags, and instead adds a comment line at the top with the column names:

=================================== === ===== ======= ======= ====================
#ID                                 len	ExpAA First60 PredHel Topology 
gi|2781234|pdb|1JLY|B               304  0.01    0.00       0 o
gi|4959044|gb|AAD34209.1|AF069992_1 600  0.00    0.00       0 o
gi|671626|emb|CAA85685.1|           473  0.19    0.00       0 o
gi|3298468|dbj|BAA31520.1|          107 59.37   31.17       3 o23-45i52-74o89-106i
