bio-plasmoap¶ ↑
PlasmoAP is a program for predicting apicoplast targetting sequences in Plasmodium falciparum (the most fatal causative agent of malaria). This biogem implements the PlasmoAP algorithm, designed from the PlasmoAP journal article:
Dissecting apicoplast targeting in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Foth BJ, Ralph SA, Tonkin CJ, Struck NS, Fraunholz M, Roos DS, Cowman AF, McFadden GI. Science. 2003 Jan 31;299(5607):705-8. PMID: 12560551
PlasmoAP requires the bio-signalp BioRuby plugin to be installed and therefore SignalP itself. See github.com/wwood/bioruby-signalp for more details.
Specifically, it requires version 3 of SignalP.
