Installation

To install protr from CRAN:

install.packages("protr")

Or try the latest version on GitHub:

remotes::install_github("nanxstats/protr")

Browse the package vignette for a quick-start.

Shiny app

ProtrWeb, the Shiny web application built on protr, can be accessed from http://protr.org.

ProtrWeb is a user-friendly web application for computing the protein sequence descriptors (features) presented in the protr package.

List of supported descriptors

Commonly used descriptors

Proteochemometric (PCM) modeling descriptors

Similarity computation

Local and global pairwise sequence alignment for protein sequences:

GO semantic similarity measures:
