protein-sequence-similarity-search
Find protein relatives and clues to their function.
What it does
Finds protein sequence homologues, interprets their alignment metrics and likely functions, and saves the search results locally.
When to use it
Use for requests to find protein sequence homologues or infer function from sequence similarity, not structural similarity.
How to use it
Give it an amino acid sequence or a FASTA file path; it returns an interpreted homologue search and saves Markdown and JSON results locally.
What you provide
- an amino acid sequence or FASTA path
