The job results are generally summarized in a webpage, the link of which is sent to the users after the job is completed (
see an example of the MapPred output). This page includes a detailed explanation on the data listed on the MapPred output page.
About MapPred
The input to MapPred can be either the sequence or MSA of the query protein. As shown in Figure 1, the MapPred works as follows.
(1) When the query sequence is given, the MSA of it will be generated by MSA generator. PSSM will be computed and two contact maps will be predicted using CCMpred and in-house DeepMSA based on the input or generated MSA.
(2) The secondary structure and relative solvent accessibility of the sequence will be predicted using PSIPRED and SOLVPRED, and are tranformed into 2D features by pairing.
(3) All above data are concatenated into 2D features and as input to in-house DeepMeta, the final contact map will be predicted using DeepMeta.
