    Finding transmembrane domains

    I need to locate transmembrane domains in a protein, so I've run it trough webservers linked at expasy in "Topology prediction" section (SOSUI, TMHMM, HMMTOP, etc.) And you know what? Every single one of them gives me different positions!
    What parameters should I estimate to correctly predict these domains? Perhaps some advice on which servers behave better on which taxa?

    Are the positions similar or overlapping at all?

    You could also consider using a positive control - pick a protein (or some) for which you know the TMD, run them through, and see which is most accurate.

      They are more or less overlapping, though sometimes only by a few AA. The amount of transmembrane domains is also the same in all estimates. This is actually all I need (how many domains there are and whether they are before or after a certain site).
      But the general question still remains: if I want to reliably estimate domains having only some protein sequences, say, from genome we are annotating, what tool should I use and what parameters and how should be optimised?

        Is this a single pass transmembrane protein? Is it a homodimer, each with a single TM domain? Is it a GPCR which is seven-pass?

          Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
          by SEQadmin2



          Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

          Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

          New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
          by SEQadmin2


          Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

          We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
