FPtool Files

Introduction:

1.The FP_predict.exe can be used to identify FPs in retroviruses.
2.The tool was implemented in Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and supported on Windows environment. 
2.input: file in FASTA format.
3.output: file in FASTA format. FP annotation clearly indicates the starting and ending positions of FP in the inquired sequence.
4.datasets:
 env.fasta: The file includes the env sequences in the benchmark dataset to train and test the model.
 fusion_peptide.fasta: The file includes the annotated FP sequences collected from NCBI database. Each sequence corresponds to the FP domain in the env sequence in the file of "env.fasta".
 removed_env.fasta: The file includes the env sequences removed from the benchmark dataset.
 removed_fusion.fasta: The file includes the FPs of the env sequences removed from the benchmark dataset annotated in the NCBI database.
5.example:
  (1)	Please run the software named "FP_predict.exe".
  (2)	The screen shows a string of characters: "Please select an input file in FASTA format: ".
       	 If the software and the input file are in the same folder, you can only type the name of the input file. such as: env.fasta
        	If the software and the input file are not in the same folder, you should type the name and path of the input file. such as: E:\\dataset\\env.fasta.
	The name and the path of the input file cannot contain a space.
  (3)	The screen shows a string of characters: "Please select an output file for predicted np-FPs: ".
	If you want the output file and software in the same folder, you should only type the name of the output file, such as, "np-FPs.fasta".
	If you want the output file in another folder, you should type the name and path of the output file, such as, "E:\\dataset\\np-FPs.fasta".
	The name and the path of the output file cannot contain a space.
  (4)	Runining... 
	Mission accomplished!
  (5)   	Then you can get the file containing the putative FPs.
  (5)	The screen shows a string of characters: " Do you want to input another file to predict putative FPs? y/n".
 	Then you can input "y" to continue predicting putative FPs, or "n" to quit the software.
