Summary:
While many experimentally characterized phosphorylation sites exist for certain organisms, such as human, rat and mouse, few sites are known for other organisms, hampering related research efforts. We have developed a software pipeline called DAPPLE that automates the process of using known phosphorylation sites from other organisms to identify putative sites in an organism of interest.
Availability:
DAPPLE is available as a web server at http://saphire.usask.ca.

Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
