Welcome to the SPADA wiki!

SPADA is a computational pipeline that, provided a multiple sequence alignment for an interested gene/protein family, identifies all members of this family in a target genome sequence. This pipeline comes with manually-curated protein sequence alignments for all Cysteine-Rich Peptides family in plant genomes.

On the other hand, SPADA can also be used to work with alignments of any protein family. Technically, this pipeline is a general homology-based gene finder program with specifically enhanced power in detecting and identifying the gene structure for single- or two-exon proteins with a leading signal peptide.

The Usage page explains the configurations, running instructions, and output files of the program.

See the Performance page for program evaluation.
