Case Studies

Here we provide a collection of short case-studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of PROMPT and the resulted time saving using PROMPT's broad capability profile. All tutorials are real-world examples from our daily research. The examples start with a short starting situation, propose open question(s) and provide extensive step-by-step instructions required to repeat each analysis. For the reader's convenience, all data files are provided as downloads. The examples build on each other . It is therefore recommended to go through the cases sequentially.

Fast-Mapping
Map two sequence sets using BLAST or FASTA34 SEQs versus SEQs using BLAST or FASTA34
Map Sequences
Map a list of GenBank identifiers with a list of Swiss-Prot accessions IDs versus IDs using BLAST or FASTA34
Map GenBank Ids to SwissProt Accessions
     

Abbreviations: SEQs sequences, IDs identifiers, PROMPT-FM Prompt's Fast-Mapping algorithm.
