This tool provides SIFT predictions for a given protein FASTA sequence by using related sequences provided by the user. Your query sequence is the sequence that you would like prediction on (i.e. the sequence in which you have introduced the amino acid substitutions).
The query sequence must be first among the related sequences you enter. The protein sequences will be aligned by PSI-BLAST. If your protein sequences are already aligned, submit your aligned sequences.


User Input

Enter your protein query sequence along with related sequences (not necessarily aligned). These sequences are assumed to be functional, and is what SIFT will base its prediction on. The normal (functional) query sequence should appear first.

Name of file containing protein query sequences (fasta format).


-or-

Paste in your protein query sequences (fasta format).




Enter the substitutions of interest [format]:

-or-

Upload a file containing substitutions of interest [format]:




Parameters

Remove sequences more than percent identical to query
This cleans out any polymorphic alleles (sequences in the database that are nearly identical to your protein but already containing the substitutions of interest). The contaminating sequences may cause the substitution to be predicted as tolerated.
