InterPro Scan

module avail interproscan/

Interproscan provides functional analysis of proteins by classifying them into families and predicting domains and important sites. We combine protein signatures from a number of member databases into a single searchable resource, capitalising on their individual strengths to produce a powerful integrated database and diagnostic tool.

Usage

InterPro Scan must be run with -T parameter:

interproscan.sh -T $SCRATCHDIR ...

The -T sets temporary directory instead of /tmp to $SCRATCHDIR. To use this parameter you must request a scratch in job’s requirements.

A number of used processors (workers) is set in the file interproscan.properties to 8, so with one master you should request for 9-10 CPUs.
