FAN is a server for fingerprint analysis of nucleotide sequences. The server performs a search of submitted nucleotide sequences against the PRINTS database. Searches are performed directly against fingerprints using a codon position specific score matrix (PSSM) approach. The advantages of this approach are increased specificity for coding sequence (CDS) over non-CDS, and increased tolerance to base-substituting and frameshifting sequence errors. Furthermore, there is no need for prior translation of the nucleotide sequences. A web-based interface to the software is available at http://bioinf.man.ac.uk/cgi-bin/neil/ntfront.pl.
FAN是一个用于核苷酸序列指纹分析的服务器。该服务器会将提交的核苷酸序列与PRINTS数据库进行比对搜索。搜索是使用密码子位置特异性得分矩阵(PSSM)方法直接针对指纹进行的。这种方法的优点是对编码序列(CDS)的特异性高于非编码序列,并且对碱基替换和移码序列错误的耐受性增强。此外,无需事先对核苷酸序列进行翻译。可通过网址http://bioinf.man.ac.uk/cgi-bin/neil/ntfront.pl访问该软件的基于网络的界面。
