Submit a Sequence to PSORTb version 3.0.3

2024-12-13 - Yesterday there was an unscheduled downtime but this has now been rectified. We apologize for any inconvenience and if you have any further problems please don't hesitate to contact us at psort-mail@sfu.ca.

Based on a study last performed in 2010, PSORTb v3.0.2 is the most precise bacterial localization prediction tool available. PSORTb v3.0.2 has a number of improvements over PSORTb v2.0.4. Version 2 of PSORTb is maintained here.

PSORTb v3.0.3, released in February 2020, is the latest version. This mitigates a bug found in v3.0.2 when used to analyze archaeal cell envelopes when the view-results-via-email option was selected.

If you are planning a large volume of requests, including planning a course that could generate a large volume of requests from your course participants, please contact us beforehand. Thank you!

You can currently submit one or more Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterial sequences or archaeal sequences in FASTA format (?). Copy and paste your FASTA-formatted sequences into the textbox below or select a file containing your sequences to upload from your computer. Web display mode is limited to the analysis of approximately 100 proteins. For larger analyses, either enter your email address in the form below (results of up to 5000 per submission returned by email) or for even larger analyses we can help you or you can download the standalone version.

This is the most current version of the PSORTb program for bacterial protein subcellular localization prediction. PSORTb v3.0 now handles archaeal sequences as well as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial sequences. Plus, it has several other improvements. Version 2 of PSORTb is maintained here (but we strongly recommend using version 3.0! ;-). If you are looking for a eukaryotic localization predictor, please visit psort.org to access other resources.
