NAME

       Bio::Tools::Signalp - parser for Signalp output

SYNOPSIS

        use Bio::Tools::Signalp;

        my $parser = Bio::Tools::Signalp->new(-fh =>$filehandle );

        while( my $sp_feat = $parser->next_result ) {
          if ($sp_feat->score > 0.9) {
             push @likely_sigpep, $sp_feat;
          }
        }

DESCRIPTION

       "SignalP" predicts the presence and location of signal peptide cleavage sites in amino
       acid sequences.

       Bio::Tools::Signalp parses the output of "SignalP" to provide a Bio::SeqFeature::Generic
       object describing the signal peptide found, if any. It returns a variety of tags extracted
       from the NN and HMM analysis. Most importantly, the "score()" attribute contains the NN
       probability of this being a true signal peptide.

        User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
        Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to
        the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution. Bug reports can be submitted va the web:
