How would I use DeCypher to predict the function of a gene?
DeCypher enables you to quickly process comprehensive BLASTX searches of your gene sequences against a well-curated protein database of known proteins. To reinforce your conclusions, it is possible to compare your protein sequence with an annotated Hidden Markov Model database such as PFAM. A match to a specific protein family can imply similar function. DeCypher’s HMM-Framesearch method is also available for automatic translation of your nucleic sequences and frameshift tolerant alignments while assigning protein family identification.
