RBPPred: a program for RNA-binding proteins prediction from sequence

RBPPred is a sequence-based RNA-Binding Proteins Predictor, which employs a comprehensive feature representation from the amino acid sequence based on support vector machine (SVM). More than one sequence in the fasta format can be submited to the program. The output file presents the prediction result with probability for each sequence.

RBPPred is available:

Instructions of installation and and usage of RBPPred

Once RBPPred program downloaded, you can follow the steps below to compile and use the package:

  1. Type "tar xzvf RBPPred.tar.gz" to uncompress the package
  2. Type "cd RBPPred" to change the current directory
  3. Type "./INSTALL.sh" to compile the program
  4. Use the command "./RBPPred.sh input_fasta num_threads" to predict. Here, "input_fasta" is the protein sequence file in the fasta format. num_threads is a user defined number of CPUs to use. A random directory with suffix of ".RBPPred" will be generated for saving outputs, and the "query.result" file in it is the final prediction result for each prediction.
