Welcome to the Protein Link Explorer (PLEX). Given an amino acid sequence or its GenBank sequence
identifier, PLEX allows a phylogenetic profile to be constructed, which can subsequently be compared to
profiles of upto 350,111 other proteins from 89 fully sequenced genomes, that are stored in our database. In
addition, PLEX can accept sophisticated phylogenetic profile inputs and comparison parameters, including
individual organism or group-based profiles. Gene neighbors and rosetta stone links
of all proteins that match the query profile can also be investigated.
To start using PLEX, click on the 'Submit a new job' button (PLEX treats each individual query as a new job). The user is assigned a job ID, which can be used to retrieve results for a period of 24hrs from the time the job was submitted. If you have submitted a job previously, you can retrieve it by clicking on the 'Retrieve a previously submitted job' button. This version of PLEX is version 2.4.
