User Guide

1. Introduction

This manual was prepared for the standalone version of T1SEstacker (version 1.0) and the related modules. T1SEstacker could be run as a whole pipeline. Alternatively, the modules could be used independently.


2. Manual of T1SEstacker

1) System requirement: Linux , Mac or windows.


2) Software or package prerequisites: The following software or packages should be pre-installed and configured into environmental variable path.

  • Perl 5
  • R==version 3.3 or later
  • R package: randomForest, e1071
  • *GO (version 1, if source code compilation needed)
  • Python3 version==3.6-3.8
  • Numpy>=1.19.4
  • biopython>=1.78
  • Pandas>=0.25.1
  • Tensorflow>=2.4.0

3) Download and installation of T1SEstacker:

The T1SEstacker package (T1SEstacker.v1.0) could be downloaded in this page.

Decompress the “T1SEstacker.tar.gz” and get into ~/T1SEstacker/ from terminal. If the pre-compiled version does not work, try to re-compile all the GO scripts in the “codes” ,and replace the binary files in the “bin” sub-folder of each module with the newly compiled ones, respectively. Compiling GO scripts:

$ cd ~/T1SEstacker/MODULE_NAME/bin

$ go build ../codes/xxx.go

“xxx.go” is the script in “codes” folder. Compile all the scripts.

4) Input files:

There is a necessary protein sequence file .The ‘protein sequence file’ T1SEstacker requires them to be FASTA-formatted, as exemplified by the demonstrated “test.fasta”.



5) Running T1SEstacker in one command line:

get into ~/T1SEstacker/ through command line:

$ cd ~/T1SEstacker/

running T1SEstacker through command line:

$ perl T1SEstacker.pl test.fasta


6) Output file format:

The prediction results are given in ~/T1SEstacker. ‘T1SEstacker.out.txt’ gives the prediction results.



‘T1SEstacker.out.txt’ contains 3 columns: protein ID, the total score of five models, and the classification with default cutoff of each model and the classification according to the customized or default (0.6) cutoff.
