DAPPLE: a pipeline for the homology-based prediction of phosphorylation sites

Bioinformatics. 2013 Jul 1;29(13):1693-5. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btt265. Epub 2013 May 8.

Abstract

Summary: While many experimentally characterized phosphorylation sites exist for certain organisms, such as human, rat and mouse, few sites are known for other organisms, hampering related research efforts. We have developed a software pipeline called DAPPLE that automates the process of using known phosphorylation sites from other organisms to identify putative sites in an organism of interest.

Availability: DAPPLE is available as a web server at http://saphire.usask.ca.
