TransAAP: an automated annotation pipeline for membrane transporter prediction in bacterial genomes.

ABSTRACT: Membrane transporters are a large group of proteins that span cell membranes and contribute to critical cell processes, including delivery of essential nutrients, ejection of waste products, and assisting the cell in sensing environmental conditions. Obtaining an accurate and specific annotation of the transporter proteins encoded by a micro-organism can provide details of its likely nutritional preferences and environmental niche(s), and identify novel transporters that could be utilized in small molecule production in industrial biotechnology. The Transporter Automated Annotation Pipeline (TransAAP) (http://www.membranetransport.org/transportDB2/TransAAP_login.html) is a fully automated web service for the prediction and annotation of membrane transport proteins in an organism from its g
