The PRED-GPCR system is based on a probabilistic method that uses family specific profile HMMs in order to determine to which GPCR family
a query sequence belongs or resembles. The approach proposed in this method exploits the descriptive power of profile HMMs along with an
exhaustive discrimination assessment method to select only highly selective and sensitive profiles, for each family. The collection of these
profiles constitutes a signature library, which is scanned, for significant matches with a given query sequence.
The output report for a query sequence consists of two sections:
- A ranked list of the profile HMM matches, below the selected individual motif E-value cutoff,
along with their corresponding family.
- A ranked list of the Combined P-values, E-values as well as the number of profiles
matched for each family.
