FragAnchor: GPI-Anchored Protein Prediction Tandem System (NN+HMM)

FragAnchor is based on the tandem use of a Neural Network predictor and a Hidden Markov Model predictor. The Neural Network is used to select the potential GPI-anchored sequences and the Hidden Markov Model classifies the selected sequences according to four different levels of precision (highly probable, probable, weakly probable, potential false positive). The Hidden Markov Model proposes also up to three possible locations for the anchor/cleavage site.
