We are pleased to announce the first release of a simple web interface to FuncNet.
This allows you to submit jobs, check on their status in real time, and retrieve the results when they’re done, in a tabular display with links out to UniProt, or as an XML file like those generated by the front-end web service.
In order to use it, you must first prepare two files on your local computer, one containing a set of query proteins (unknown/partially-understood function), and one with reference proteins (well-understood function). These should be plain text files, with one UniProt primary accession per line. Remember that FuncNet currently only supports human proteins.
This interface is really only intended for smaller queries — we recommend that you use the web services directly for queries over about a hundred proteins, although feel free to try anyway, we haven’t imposed any limits. If you need any help or advice, please contact us at the usual mailbox ‘info’ at ‘funcnet.eu’.
