Quick Guide
HelixHarbor has 4 analysis modes. Choose one mode first, then fill the relevant inputs.
- Sequence: Enter one amino-acid sequence. Output is region annotation (inside/outside/membrane) plus feature values per segment.
- List Against Background: Enter UniProt IDs for your list of interest, then choose organism/background/feature. Output is a distribution comparison against the selected background set.
- Compare 2 Lists: Enter two UniProt lists and compare them directly using the selected feature.
- TMH Position Specific AAC: Enter UniProt IDs and orientation preference to get position-wise amino acid composition heatmaps.
- Choose mode and paste sequence/IDs.
- For list-based modes, set TMH region preference (
First TMH or All TMHs) and a feature.
- Click
Submit to generate plots/tables.
- Use downloads on the right panel for outputs.
Downloads: Sequence table and raw plot points are available from the right panel after analyses.
Raw plot export: includes group, id, type, begin, end, value for each plotted point.
