Software Tool for Researching Annotations of Proteins (STRAP): Open-Source Software for Protein Annotation and Data Visualization

摘要

STRAP is user-friendly, open-source software that automates the protein annotation and GO-term visualization process that is otherwise extremely laborious when done manually. It can read protein lists from a variety of formats, including Mascot and TPP search results, and then annotate these lists using the online UniProtKB database. From an annotated list of proteins, it can generate various GO term graphs and charts to aid data interpretation and thus expedite proteomic data analysis. This PC-based software allows researchers to rapidly parse and annotate large sets of proteins. STRAP and its C# source code are available under the lesser GNU public license (LGPL) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpctools/.
