## Introduction ## Introduction
PRESCOTT is a program predicting mutational effects of a protein based on population, evolutionary and structural information. PRESCOTT is a package predicting mutational effects in a protein based on population, evolutionary and structural information.
It can calculate effects of single point mutations and multiple point mutations. It is made up of two main programs: escott and prescott.
ESCOTT can calculate effects of single point mutations and multiple point mutations. On the other hand, PRESCOTT incorporates
population frequencies into ESCOTT predictions. Therefore, you need to run ESCOTT first to have predictions of mutational effects.
We recommend using PRESCOTT via our web site or our docker image. We recommend using PRESCOTT via our web site or our docker image.
## Input Data Requirements ## Input Data Requirements
PRESCOTT requires two files: ESCOTT requires two files:
* a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) file in fasta format (mandatory): * a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) file in fasta format (mandatory):
Your query protein must be the first sequence in the fasta file. In addition, the query sequence should not contain any gaps. Your query protein must be the first sequence in the fasta file. In addition, the query sequence should not contain any gaps.
