Enter a name. Every letter that is one of the 20 amino-acid symbols
(ACDEFGHIKLMNPQRSTVWY) is kept; the six that aren't
(B J O U X Z) fall away. Then the leftover peptide is matched against
a set of real sequences (NCBI BLAST). The closest match to a protein is indicated.
Each protein has a distinct and unique function and character. Do they match yours?
If so, this is your genoscope.

This copies your peptide to the clipboard and opens NCBI protein BLAST.
Paste it into the query box if it isn't pre-filled. Short peptides need loosened
settings to return anything — under Algorithm parameters set matrix to
PAM30, raise Expect threshold (e.g. 200000),
and turn off the low-complexity filter.

Live reading · any real proteinsource: UniProt
Enter a protein name or a UniProt accession (e.g. insulin, titin,
P04637). The app fetches its real function annotation and writes a horoscope
grounded in what the protein actually does.
