Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
Background
The SeqAPASS tool has been developed to predict across species relative intrinsic susceptibility
to chemicals with known molecular targets (e.g., pharmaceuticals, pesticides) as well as evaluate
conservation of molecular targets from high-throughput screening assays (i.e., U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency ToxCast Program) and molecular initiating events (MIEs) and early key events in the
adverse outcome pathway framework, as a means to extrapolate such knowledge across species. The term
"relative" is used because it is recognized that molecular target similarity is one consideration, though an
important one, for making predictions of susceptibility to a chemical. Other important considerations for
susceptibility that are not evaluated using the SeqAPASS methodology include how well a chemical is
absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and eliminated, life stage, and other life history traits. Also, "relative"
indicates that the determination of sequence similarity between proteins is based on comparison to a
single protein sequence for a specific species. Additionally, we describe "intrinsic susceptibility" as the
vulnerability (or lack thereof) of an organism to chemical perturbation due to its inherent biological
composition.
Cross-species comparisons of proteins can be conducted through examination of sequence and
structural information, depending on how well the protein has been characterized and what is known
about a chemical-protein interaction. SeqAPASS allows the user to assess various levels of protein
sequence detail across species including comparisons of primary amino acid sequence (including ortholog
detection), functional domain(s), and individual amino acid residue positions. Each level requires a
greater understanding of the protein and its interaction with a chemical of interest (or similar ligand).
Because human and veterinary drugs, as well as pesticides, are designed to act specifically on well
characterized molecular targets, these chemical classes have proven useful for demonstrating the utility of
the SeqAPASS tool and its application to various hazard assessment/research scenarios.
The pertinent information necessary to begin a SeqAPASS query includes: the identification of a single
(or multiple) query species and a query protein, which would be the molecular target(s) of interest (e.g.,
receptor or enzyme).
The SeqAPASS algorithms mine, collect, and collate information from the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) protein database (http://www.ncbi.nlm .nih. gov/protein/). conserved
domains database (http://www.ncbi .nlm .nih. gov/cdd/). taxonomy database
(http://www.ncbi .nlm .nih.gov/taxonomv/). strategically utilizes the Stand-Alone Basic Local Alignment
Search Tool for proteins (BLASTp)
(http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Web&PAGE TYPE=BlastDocs&DOC TYPE=Download
and the Constraint-based Multiple Alignment Tool (COBALT)
(http://www.st-va.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/cobalt/re cobalt.cgi).

SeqAPASS Run Status
Level 1 SeqAPASS (primary amino acid sequence comparisons) status is displayed as the default. The
Accession in the column "Level 1 Query Accession" is that selected and queried by the user. For a query
to finish it must display "complete" in the BLASTp column, 100% in the "Common Domains" column,
and 100% in the "Ortholog Candidate" column. The "Common Domains" column displays the %
completion for running Reverse Position Specific (RPS)-BLAST (Default E-value of <0.01) on the
Accessions from the Level 1 Full Report. RPS-BLAST, and therefore "Common Domains" status, will
take the longest to complete. The "Ortholog Candidate" column displays the % completion for running a
reciprocal best hit BLAST evaluation for each hit sequence. The status for the "BLASTp" column is
described as "started," "analyzing," or "complete." If the user's successfully submitted query has entered
the run queue, the position of the submitted query in the queue will be indicated in the column (e.g., 2nd in
queue). The "Common Domains" and "Ortholog Candidate" columns will also describe the position of
the user's submitted query in the run queue. Once the run has begun processing, the % completed for
RPS-BLAST or reciprocal best hit BLAST, respectively, will be displayed. Please see example below:

The user can view the status of requested SeqAPASS runs. Each Run is assigned a unique "SeqAPASS
Run Id.' A Run is considered a query that was requested either individually or as a batch in the "Request
SeqAPASS Run" tab. The user can view run start and end dates/times, and the duration of the run. (See
Search, View, and Download Data Tables section of user guide for more information). The "Data
Version" column indicates which version of NCBI data is being used (See "About" page for details on
Data Versions)
The user is also able to view the status of Level 2 (Functional domain(s)) and Level 3 (individual amino
acid residue alignments).

The completed runs, by default, are listed in the order in which they were completed, with the most recent
runs at the top. The table includes information for each ran, such as SeqAPASS Run ID (unique for every
run regardless of if it is the same protein/species combination ran twice), Data Version, Ortholog Count
(number of orthologs detected from the aligned hit sequences in Level 1; see Detailed Documentation
page 79), NCBI Accession, Query Protein Name, taxonomy information for the query species, and the
date/time of ran completion.
While viewing the page, the user can click the "Refresh Available Reports"' button to refresh the table
with additional completed runs. Partial protein sequences are highlighted in yellow as illustrated in the
example below. (See Search, View, and Download Data Tables section of user guide for more

Level 1: Primary Amino Acid Sequence Alignment
From the "View SeqAPASS Reports" tab, upon selecting a radio button and clicking "Request Selected
Report" the Level 1 data will be displayed.
The "Level 1 Query Protein Information" box contains the SeqAPASS Run ID, Query Accession,
Ortholog Count (# of hits identified as ortholog candidates to the query species protein sequence), NCBI
Data updates ("Protein and Taxonomy Data:" displays the date that NCBI databases were downloaded
and incorporated into the SeqAPASS database; BLAST Version: and Software Version: displays the
version being used by the SeqAPASS tool for the selected data), Query Species, and Query Protein. Other
information in this box will be described below.

The default table displayed at the bottom of the page is the "Primary Report", which includes query
protein information in the first row below the column titles, followed by hit proteins whose sequences
aligned with the query protein. The hit proteins are ordered from the highest to lowest percent similarity
(Maximum percent similarity =100%). For each hit protein, Data version, NCBI Accession and species
information is provided including the "Protein Count" which indicates the number of protein records per
species in the NCBI protein database, taxonomic information (See Primary Report Settings section
below in user guide for more detail on "Taxonomic Group" versus "Filtered Taxonomic Group"
columns), and species names. Also included are the NCBI protein accession, protein name, BLASTp
bitscore (describes overall quality of the alignment, See NCBI BLASTp tutorials), and percent similarity
([hit bitscore/query bitscore]* 100). If the hit protein has been identified as an ortholog candidate (using
reciprocal best hit blast method), it will be noted with a "Y" for yes or if not an ortholog candidate, a "N",
for no. If the hit protein is predicted to be susceptible according to the susceptibility cut-off criteria, that
will also be noted with a "Y" for yes or alternatively an "N" for no. The date the analysis was completed
is also identified. The data also includes a column describing the number of ortholog candidates identified
using the reciprocal best hit BLAST method. The susceptibility cut-off is also listed in a column. The cut-
off is determined through identifying local minimums in the density plot of the percent similarity values
for the primary report data set and evaluation of ortholog candidates. Additionally, there is a column that
identifies if the species is a Eukaryote noted with a "Y" for yes or alternatively an "N" for no. Links out
to the NCBI Protein Database, NCBI Taxonomy Database, and ECOTOX Knowledgebase (specific to the
data row) are embedded in the Level 1 data table for "NCBI Accession," "Species Tax ID," "Scientific
Name," "Protein Name", and "ECOTOX" columns. (See Search, View, and Download Data Tables
section of user guide for more information).

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
Default highlights identify partial protein sequences, sequences with a bitscore higher than the query
sequence and therefore percent similarity greater than 100% (commonly synthetic constructs), and when
zero ortholog candidates are identified (in this case a user should consider a different query sequence or
check the full report). Please see Susceptibility Cutoff Box for Level 1 section of user guide for details
when no orthologs are detected. Additionally, the default setting for the report shows only eukaryote data
if a eukaryote is selected as the query protein, excluding prokaryote data from the table with the "Show
Only Eukaryotcs" checkbox checked. To view prokaryote data, deselect this checkbox. If a prokaryote is
selected as the query protein, the default setting will include both eukaryote and prokaryote data and the
"Show Only Eukaryotcs" checkbox will not be selected. To limit the data to eukaryotes only, the user
would check the "Show Only Eukaryotcs" checkbox.

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
Level 1: Primary Report Settings
Default settings
The "Primary Report Settings" drop down allows the user to view default settings on the table below and
manipulate certain settings. "Primary Report Settings" are only available on the "Primary Report"
display, not the "Full Report." The default settings show data for hits whose E-value are < 0.01 and have
been identified to have > 1 domain in common with the query sequence. The default setting for the
"Sorted by Taxonomic Group" is "class," therefore the "Filtered Taxonomic Group" column in the table
is set to identify and report the taxonomic lineage of "class" from the NCBI Taxonomy Database.
However, if class is not identified in the NCBI Taxonomic Hierarchy associated with the hit accession,
then the algorithm will report the next available Taxonomic Group moving from class to subclass, to
superorder, to order, to suborder, to superfamily, to family, to subfamily, to genus. Finally, the
susceptibility predictions are set by using species read across. (Please view Documentation Section of
the User Guide for details on Read-Across settings). Briefly, Species Read-Across is used to set the
susceptibility prediction, where all ortholog candidates are Susceptible = Y; all species listed above the
susceptibility cut-off are Susceptible = Y; all species below the cut-off from the same taxonomic group of
one or more species above the cut-off are Susceptible = Y; and those below the cut-off that are not
ortholog candidates and do not belong to a taxonomic group above the cut-off are Susceptible = N.

If the user chooses "order' for example, the "Filtered Taxonomic Group" column in the data table will
report the taxonomic lineage of "order"' from the NCBI Taxonomy Database and all species read-across
for the susceptibility prediction will be based on order instead of class. The data visualization will also

with the hit accession, then the algorithm will report the next available taxonomic group moving from
suborder, to superfamily, to family, to subfamily, to genus. Upon selecting the taxonomic group from the
dropdown and clicking "Update Report," the Level 1 Data for the Primary Report will update to the
selected taxonomic level.

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
The user can select the "Full Report" on the "Level 1" page, which includes the same information as the
"Primary Report" and additional information pertaining to the alignment of the protein sequence using
BLASTp. Additional information includes the number of amino acid residues in the sequence (Hit
Length), the number of exact matching amino acids between the hit and query sequence (Identity), the
number of exact and similar matches in amino acids between the hit and the query sequence (Positives),
the expect value (E-value) describing the number of different alignments expected to occur in the
database search by chance, and the conserved domain count. The conserved domain count identifies all
domains associated with the query protein in the NCBI conserved domains database (Specific hits, Non-
specific hits, Superfamilies, and Multi-domains; See NCBI conserved domains database for details).
SeqAPASS algorithms record the query sequence coverage of each curated domain and compares that
coverage to that of the hit sequence. If the hit sequence covers the curated domain greater than or equal to
the query sequence, then the domain is considered a common domain between the hit and query. The
number of common domains comparing each hit sequence to the query sequence are summed and
reported. This column displays "0" when the hit protein and query protein do not have any common
domains. (See Search, View, and Download Data Tables section of user guide for more information).
The user can also download the currently applied report settings by selecting the "Download Current
Level 1 Report Settings." This csv allows the user to track which settings were used or changed by the
user when downloading a data table.

Note: SeqAPASS v2.0 and newer parse the BLASTp query and hit accessions to identify all the
species/accessions from identical proteins. Therefore, if a hit sequence represents multiple species, all
species with the identical sequence will be found in the data tables for Level 1. To determine which
sequence/species was identified from BLASTp as a hit and which sequence/species was parsed from the
identical sequence, view the "Full Report" for Level, column "Identical Protein," where "N" is indicative
of the original hit sequence and "Y" is the parsed sequence.

When downloading the current Level 1 report settings, the following information will be present in the
csv fde. If the user decides to change the default settings, the csv file can be utilized for quick information
if the SeqAPASS page is no longer open.
Susceptibility Cutoff Box for Level 1
The susceptibility prediction is determined by identifying ortholog candidates, sequences above a defined
susceptibility cutoff, or by identifying those species below the susceptibility cut-off from an organism
class above the susceptibility cutoff. The default susceptibility cut-off is set by plotting the distribution of
percent similarities calculated for each hit protein. From this plot, the critical points are identified, and the
local minimums and maximums reported. Using the ortholog candidate data, a susceptibility cut-off is
automatically determined by identifying the first ortholog candidate at an equal or higher percent
similarity than the first local minimum. The user can view this graph by clicking the "Cutoff Settings"
button in the "Susceptibility Cut-off' box, which will open a new tab in the web browser. The "Select
Cut-Off' drop-down can allow the user to select between the default cut-off, the 2nd local minimum or a
user defined cut-off. The 2nd susceptibility cut-off is identified in the density plot by finding the 1st
ortholog candidate at an equal or higher percent similarity to that of the 2nd local minimum. Upon
selecting the User defined cut-off from the dropdown, the user can view and closely examine the density
plot and manipulate the cut-off. The "Enter Cut-off' text box becomes active and the user can enter a
number 1-100. To update the cut-off in the Level 1 data report and/or close the cutoff tab and return to the
Level 1 page, click "Update Cut-off' button.

If no orthologs are detected from reciprocal best hit blast analysis, the "Ortholog Count" will be "0" at the
top of the "Level 1 Query Protein Information" page. The cutoff will be set by the local minimums only,
therefore the susceptibility prediction will NOT consider ortholog candidates. It is recommended that the
user checks the full report for ortholog candidates or identifies a different query sequence for the
susceptibility predictions. Here, the susceptibility predictions will be highlighted in dark pink in the Level
1 data table to indicate that 0 orthologs were detected and the susceptibility cutoff was determined from
plotting the distribution of percent similarities and identifying the local minimums.

The default "Level 2" table is the "Primary Report", which includes query domain information in the first
row below the column titles, followed by hit domains whose sequences aligned with the selected query
domain. The hit domains are ordered from the highest to lowest percent similarity (Maximum percent
similarity =100%). For each hit domain, Data Version, NCBI Accession and species information is
provided, including the "Protein Count" which indicates the number of protein records per species in the
NCBI protein database, taxonomic information, and species names. Also included are the NCBI accession
for the query protein, query protein name, Domain Type, BLASTP bitscore (describes overall quality of
the alignment, See NCBI BLASTp tutorials), and Domain percent similarity ([hit bitscore/query
bitscore]* 100). If the hit protein has been identified as an ortholog candidate (using reciprocal best hit
BLAST method), it will be noted with a "Y" for yes or if not an ortholog candidate, a ""N". for no.
A prediction of susceptibility is displayed based on the susceptibility cut-off, identified with a "Y" for yes
or an "N" for no. The date/time the analysis was completed is also identified. (See Search, View, and
Download Data Tables section of user guide for more information). There is a column that identifies if
the species is a eukaryote, noted with a "Y" for yes or alternatively a ""N" for no if the hit is a prokaryote.
Additionally, a column with a link to the U.S. EPA ECOTOX Knowledgebase
(https://cfpub.epa.gov/ecotox/help.cfm) is available when there are empirical toxicity data curated for
the species identified in the row. This link allows the user to view available single chemical toxicity data
from the literature for specific species.
Default highlights identify partial protein sequences, sequences with a bitscore higher than the query
domain and therefore percent similarity greater than 100% (commonly synthetic constructs), and when
zero ortholog candidates are identified (in this case a user should consider a different query sequence).
Additionally, the default setting for the report shows only eukaryote data, excluding prokaryote data from
the table with the "Show Only Eukaryotes" checkbox checked. To view prokaryote data, deselect this
checkbox.

Level 2: Primary Report Settings
Default settings
The "Primary Report Settings" box allows the user to view default settings on the table below and
manipulate certain settings. The "Primary Report Settings" box is only available on the "Primary Report"
display. The default settings show data for hits whose E-value are <10. The default setting for the "Sorted
by Taxonomic Group" is "class," therefore the "Filtered Taxonomic Group" column in the table is set to
identify and report the taxonomic lineage of "class" from the NCBI Taxonomy Database. However, if
class is not identified in the NCBI Taxonomic Hierarchy associated with the hit accession, then the
algorithm will report the next available Taxonomic Group moving from class to subclass, to superorder,
to order, to suborder, to superfamily, to family, to subfamily, to genus. Finally, the susceptibility
predictions are set by using Species Read-Across. (Please view SeqAPASS Documentation Section of
the User Guide for details on Read-Across settings). Briefly, "Species Read-Across" is used to set the
susceptibility prediction, where all ortholog candidates are Susceptible = Y; all species listed above the
susceptibility cut-off are Susceptible = Y; all species below the cut-off from the same taxonomic group of
one or more species above the cut-off are Susceptible = Y; and those below the cut-off that are not
ortholog candidates and do not belong to a taxonomic group above the cut-off are Susceptible = N.

If the user chooses "order' for example, the "Filtered Taxonomic Group"' column in the data table will
report the taxonomic lineage of "order" from the NCBI Taxonomy Database and all species read-across
for the susceptibility prediction will be based on order instead of class. As described previously, if order
is not identified in the NCBI Taxonomic Hierarchy associated with the hit accession, then the algorithm
will report the next available Taxonomic Group moving from suborder, to superfamily, to family, to
subfamily, to genus. Upon selecting the Taxonomic Group from the dropdown and clicking "Update
Report," the "Level 2" data for the Primary Report will update to the selected taxonomic level. The user
can also download the currently applied report settings by selecting the "Download Current Level 2
Report Settings". This csv file allows the user to track which settings were used or changed by the user
when downloading a data table.

Susceptibility Cutoff Box for Level 2
The susceptibility prediction is set by identifying ortholog candidates, sequences above a defined
susceptibility cutoff, or by identifying those species below the susceptibility cut-off from an organism
class above the susceptibility cutoff. The default susceptibility cut-off is set by plotting the distribution of
percent similarities calculated for each hit protein. From this plot, the critical points are identified, and the
local minimums and maximums reported. Using the ortholog candidate data, a susceptibility cut-off is
automatically determined by identifying the first ortholog candidate at an equal or higher percent
similarity than the first local minimum percent similarity. The user can view this graph by clicking the
"View Cutoff button in the "Susceptibility Cut-off' box. Radio buttons located to the right of the
graphical display indicate which Cut-off has been applied for the evaluation of susceptibility in the report.
These radio buttons can be selected to change the cut-off in the table to the 2nd local minimum, where the
2nd local minimum is identified in the density plot and the first ortholog candidate at an equal or higher
percent similarity than the second local minimum percent similarity is used to set the cut-off. Or the user
can define the local minimum by clicking on the "User Defined'' radio button. Alternatively, the user can
view the closely examine the density plot and manipulate the cut-off by clicking the "View Cutoff'
button.

If no orthologs are detected from reciprocal best hit blast analysis, the "Ortholog Count" will be "0" at the
top of the "Level 2 Query Protein Information" page. The cutoff will be set by the local minimum s only,
therefore the susceptibility prediction will NOT consider ortholog candidates. It is recommended that the
user checks the full report for Ortholog candidates or identifies a different query sequence for the
susceptibility predictions. Here, the susceptibility predictions will be highlighted in dark pink in the Level
2 data table to indicate that 0 orthologs were detected and the susceptibility cutoff was determined from
plotting the distribution of percent similarities and identifying the local minimums.

checkboxes in the dropdown. Similarly, unwanted taxonomic groups may be removed directly from the
boxplot by hovering the cursor over the taxonomic groups listed along the x-axis. The user will notice
that the selection arrow changes to a black arrow with a red "x' next to it; clicking the taxonomic group
will then remove it from the boxplot and the "Taxonomic Groups" controls box. The user can delete
multiple species by pressing CTRL and either clicking individual species or slowly dragging across
multiple species. Additionally, that taxonomic group will have the checkbox deselected in the
"Taxonomic Groups'' controls box drop-down list.

Customize Boxplot Legend
The user may customize the "Boxplot" by adding a legend that will pinpoint species of interest on the
boxplot. Upon clicking the drop-down for "Select Species for Legend" in the controls box the user may
search in the text box for specific species to display in the boxplot legend. Upon identifying a species
from the drop-down menu and selecting the checkbox the species name will be placed in the boxplot
legend and a corresponding data point will be produced on the graph. The default settings display the
species common name both in the "Select Species for Legend" dropdown and on the boxplot. However, if
the species scientific name is desired, the user can select the radio button for '"Scientific Name" in the
controls box for "Species Legend Options." This action will change the drop-down menu and species in
the legend to display the species scientific name.
Note: The database will take a moment to update the list upon changing between "Common Name" and
"Scientific Name."

Change Species Display on Plot
Multiple scientific names can be represented by only one common name (e.g., Common name: Teleost
fishes; corresponding scientific names: Spinibarbus denticulatus, Sinocvclocheilus rhinocerous,
Sinocyclocheilus grcthami, Sinocvclocheilus anshuiensis, Gobiocypris rants, Thamnacomis
septentrionalis). Therefore, if a species common name that represents multiple species was used to create
the legend, and the user decides to instead select "Scientific Name," by default the boxplot legend will
change to display multiple scientific names that representing the individual common name and each
scientific name will be represented by a unique color/shape point on the plot. However, if the user selects
the checkbox "Group by Common Name" in the "Species Legend Options" control box, then the
scientific names that are represented by one common name will all display the same color/shape point on
the plot.
The user has the option of removing selected species from the legend either by removing them directly
from the "Select Species for Legend" drop-down box or by hovering the mouse directly over the species
name in the legend. The mouse will change to a black arrow with a red 'x' next to it. Clicking the name
while this arrow is displayed will remove the species from the legend and from the control box.

Hover-over Features in the BoxPlot
By hovering over a taxonomic group name on the x-axis of the boxplot, an information box will pop-up
listing the top three species in order by highest percent similarity. If only one or two species are
represented in the taxonomic group, then only those species will be displayed. Hovering the mouse over
any of the species in the boxplot, that is present in the legend, will generate a pop-up box with the
corresponding species name, taxonomic ID, query protein, and percent similarity. The susceptiblity cut-
off is displayed in a pop-up text box upon hovering over the dashed horizontal cut-offline.
Summary Table for Species in a Specific Taxonomic Group
By clicking on a box representing a taxonomic group in the boxplot a table will pop-up providing
summary information for that particular group. The table header will provide summary statistics (i.e.,
mean and median percent similarity), including the Taxonomic Group name, number of species
represented in the box, the overall susceptiblity prediciton for the selected taxonomic group. Data table
includes protein and species information along with metrics for evaluated protein similarity and
predicting suseptiblity. Also inlcuded in the table are columns indicating if a species belongs to a certain
group of interest (e.g., Threatened Species; Endangered Species, Model Organism). Table can be
downloaded by clicking on the icon for excel or csv file.
Interactive Visualization with Level 1 Data Page and Level 2 Data Page
The data visualization is programmed to update with changes made to the Level 1 Data page and Level 1
Data page, respectively. Therefore, if the user updates the Susceptibility Cut-off (See user guide section
Susceptibility Cutoff Box for Level 1 and Susceptibility Cutoff Box for Level 2) to the "Second Local
Minimum" or "User Defined Cut-off," the previously opened data visualization boxplot tab will update
the cut-off accordingly. Similarly, the user modifies the Primary Report Settings (See user guide section
Level 1: Primary Report Settings and Level 2: Primary Report Settings), the data visualization will
update accordingly.
Note: If the user updates the "Primary Report Settings" for "Sorted by Taxonomic Group" the boxplot
will update to display the new taxonomic group selection that is present in the "Filtered Taxonomic
Group" column in the data table. The user should be aware that manipulating the "Sorted by Taxonomic
Group" to a different level in the taxonomic lineage (e.g., from class to order; from class to genus) adds a
larger number of taxonomic groups to the x-axis. Therefore, the plot may require greater user
manipulation using the "BoxPlot Controls" to view the data.

Level 3: Individual Amino Acid Residue Alignment
In the "View SeqAPASS Reports" tab, on the "Level 1 Query Protein Information" page, there is a
"Level 3" dropdown for setting up the query for comparing individual amino acid residues to a template
sequence. It is anticipated that the choice of template sequence and residues that are selected to align will
be derived from the published literature in most cases. Publications evaluating homology models, protein
crystal structures, pesticide field resistance, or utilizing site-directed mutagenesis are a few examples of
the types of studies that may contain such information to guide a Level 3 SeqAPASS evaluation.

Below the text box where the user can choose to add additional sequences for comparison, is a link to
NCBI COBALT (Constraint-based Multiple Protein Alignment Tool). The NCBI COBALT allows the
user to align multiple sequences and is the alignment tool that SeqAPASS algorithms utilize to set up the
query of individual amino acid residues across species.
Note: The user does not need to use the COBALT link to run a Level 3 evaluation, however the link is
available in case the user chooses to further evaluate or compare multiple potential template sequences.
Under the text "Enter Level 3 Run Name," there is a text box where the user can enter a user defined
name for the run. The user may only enter letters or integers as text for the name. The user defined name
will appear in the "View Level 3 Data" dropdown upon completion of the Level 3 sequence alignment.

To complete the set-up for a Level 3 query the user must select which sequences to compare to the
identified template sequence. Listed in the "Choose Taxonomic Group(s)" drop-down are all Taxonomic
Groups that were identified as hits in the "Level 1" primary amino acid sequence alignment data. Because
COBALT is used to align all sequences that are selected, it is recommended that the user selectively
identify sequences from the hit table below to align. For example, selecting sequences with low similarity
to the template sequence along with sequences sharing high similarity to the template sequence can skew
the alignment because COBALT is trying to align all the sequences together. It is recommended that the
user select sequences by first selecting a taxonomic group from the "Choose Taxonomic Group(s)" drop-
down. The user can also use the NCBI taxonomy link to type in the name of the "Taxonomic Groups"
found in the drop-down to look up which species fall in that group.

protein in the "Level 1 Data" table and select those that they would like to compare to the template
sequence. To select sequences/species from the filtered "Level 1 Data" table, the user will select the
check boxes in the first column of the table. Although it is not typically recommended, the user may also
select the header check box in the first column to select all sequences/species in the filtered table.
Note: The user can also type the "Taxonomic Group" of interest in the text search box at the top of the
drop-down for quick filtering.
Below is an example where the user selected the "Taxonomic Group" Actinopteri from the drop-down
and then selected individual sequences/species to align with the template sequence. The number of
selected species will be shown in the text above the "Request Residue Run" button.

The user can choose to align sequences/species from multiple taxonomic groups with the template
sequence, by going back to the "Choose Taxonomic Group" drop-down and selecting another group,
which filters the Level 1 table based on the group selected, and then the user can select additional species
from the newly filtered table. As before, the number of selected species can be tracked in the text above
the "Request Residue Run" button that reads "X species selected".
When the user has selected all sequences they want to align, then click the "Request Residue Run" button.
Upon successful submission of a Level 3 query the user will see the following pop-up message. If
submission is unsuccessful, a message will appear describing the reason for the unsuccessful submission.

The next step in the "Combine Level 3 Reports" feature is to put the jobs in order as to how they should
be displayed in the output. Typically, sequences from an individual taxonomic group are aligned to a
template sequence and named accordingly (e.g., Actinopteri, Amphibia, Aves, etc.). It may be useful to
order the combined report similarly to how the taxonomic groups are displayed on the x-axis of the Level
1 or Level 2 data visualization. Therefore, the user can select the user defined name from the "Order

Level 3 Data - Primary Report
The default report is the "Primary Report" and can be recognized as such because the radio button for
"Primary Report" above the "Level 3 Data" table is selected.
The "Primary Report" columns for the alignment will be titled "Similar Susceptibility as Template" ("Y"
or "N" for yes or no, respectively), followed by Position 1, Amino Acid 1, Total Match 1, Position 2
Amino Acid 2, Total Match 2, Position 3, Amino Acid 3, Total Match 3.... The template sequence will
always be in the top row of the "Level 3 Data" table followed by the previously selected sequences.
Further, the residues selected in the shuttle will also be displayed in the top row corresponding to the
template sequence. Each Position and Amino Acid in the following rows are those corresponding to the
Protein Accession identified in that row and aligning with the template sequence. The Total Match X
describes whether the amino acid residue matches the template based on side-chain classification and
molecular weight, "Y," for yes, or "N," for not a match to the template. The user can evaluate this data to
understand how well conserved an amino acid residue is across species or in a species of interest to add
an additional line of evidence to support (or question) susceptibility predictions. The user can also
download the current report settings by selecting the "Download Current Level 3 Report Settings." This
csv allows the user to track which settings were used or changed by the user when downloading a data

The "Direct Match X" column describes whether the hit amino acid is an exact match to the template
amino acid, providing a "Y" or "N" for yes or no, respectively. The "Side Chain X" column indicates the
side chain classification for the amino acid residue (click on "Show Amino Acid Info... for more
information on classifications). The "Side Chain Match X" column indicates whether the hit side chain
has the same classification as the template amino acid, providing a "Y" or "N" for yes or no, respectively.
The "MW X" column indicates the molecular weight (g/mol) of the amino acid residue and the "MW
Match X" column indicates whether the hit molecular weight has a difference in molecular weight greater
than or equal to 30 g/mol compared to the template amino acid, providing a "Y" or "N" for yes or no,
respectively. For the "Total Match X" to be "Y," both "Side Chain Match X" and "MW Match X" should
be either "Y" and Y" or one "Y" and one "N," respectively. Only if both "Side Chain Match X" and
"MW Match X" are "N" and "N," then the "Total Match X" is "N" for no. Ultimately, the Total Match 1,
2, 3, 4.... are used to inform the "Similar Susceptibility as Template" column. If there is one or more "N"
for Total Match comparing any amino acid residue to the template across a row for a given species, then
the "Similar Susceptibility as Template" is "N" for no, indicating that the hit species is predicted NOT to
have the same susceptibly prediction as the template sequence. However, if all "Total Match X" are "Y"
for yes, then the "Similar Susceptibility as Template" is "Y" indicating that the hit species is predicted to
have the same susceptibly prediction as the template sequence.

Level 3 Data Visualization
In formation Page : Heat Map
The Heat Map is a feature that allows the user to have a visual representation of the chosen amino acid(s)
for a single Level 3 run. The Heat Map utilizes color to denote which amino acids are a total match,
partial match and not a match to the template sequence. The Heat Map is accessed within the "Level 3"
page under the "Visualization" drop down and will open in a separate tab. The Heat Map has many
similar features to the Level 1 and 2 boxplots with some added customizable features. There are many
settings that can be changed within the Heat Map and if necessary, there are informational buttons that
can be opened to get added information regarding the different options.
To get to the Heat Map, open a completed Level 3 run and click the "Visualization" drop down then
select the "Visualize Data" button. This will bring you to the Heat Map where there is information
regarding the features of the map. Then select the "Heat Map" icon to access the Heat Map itself.

Above is an example of a simple report which shows the amino acid and its respective position. Each
amino acid is compared to the template species and can receive a dark blue color (Total match), a light
blue color (Partial match), or a yellow color (Not a match). To access more information regarding each
amino acid, the user can scroll over the amino acid box to bring up a box with added data.
Amino acid alignments are compared to the user selected template amino acids: Comparing Side Chain
Classification (e.g., acidic, basic, aromatic) and molecular weight as surrogate for size (> 30g/mol
difference = N). If both the side chain classification and molecular weight are within 30 g/mol then the
amino acid will be a total match, if only one amino acid characteristic is similar to the template then it is
labeled a partial match, and if both characteristics differ from the template then the alignment is not a
match.
Below is an example of a full report which also shows the amino acid and its respective position but also
shows the amino acid's side chain classification, molecular weight, and if it is a Total match (dark blue)
or Not a match (yellow) to the template species.

Decision Summary Report
The "Decision Summary (DS) Report" is a feature that gives the user options to design a single output
page to concisely view results from all Levels of the SeqAPASS evaluation for completed jobs. The
output is customizable to include visualizations and susceptibility predictions that can be downloaded in a
PDF format. The "DS Report" page becomes activate when the user takes action on a result page to push
tables or visualizations to the DS Report. The "DS Report" page will contain a maximum of one Level 1
output (and visualization) and one Level 3 output (and visualization) but can contain multiple Level 2
domain outputs (and their respective visualizations).

prediction for each run and easily displays the results for a quick interpretation. The complete table can be
either saved as an excel spreadsheet or .csv file. It will also be added into the PDF when downloaded.
Each selected specie(s) will have its own respective row which contains the information that has been
pushed to the "Final Decision Summary Report" table. The columns will show the Data Version, NCBI
Accession, Filtered Taxonomic Group, Species, Protein Name, Level 1 Susceptibility Prediction as Yes
(Y) or No (N), Level 2 Common Domain(s) Name and respective Susceptibility Prediction as Yes (Y) or
No (N), Level 3 Template Species, and Level 3 Amino Acid Susceptibility Prediction as Yes (Y) or No
(N). (A few things to note: if there are multiple domains pushed to the "Final Decision Summary Report"
table, each domain will have their own column. Also, for species to have either a Yes (Y) or No (N)
susceptibility prediction in the table, they must be pushed to the report from the Level 3 run as well as
selected in the Level 1 taxonomic groups/species selection. If a species was not included in the Level 3
report that was pushed but is included in the "Final Decision Summary Report" table, they will receive a
NA for their Level 3 susceptibility prediction.)

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS) Documentation
Query Species: The selection of the query species for a SeqAPASS analysis is dependent upon the
question the user is addressing. For example, the query species can be the target species (i.e., human or
companion animal in the case of drugs; or insect, plant, fungus, or pest in the case of pesticides) or,
depending on the application of the susceptibility prediction, the query species may be a species known or
hypothesized to be sensitive to a chemical acting on the protein molecular target of interest. There may be
instances where a protein for the species of interest has not been sequenced, in this case it may serve the
users purpose to identify another taxonomically related species from the same organism Class, Order,
Family, or Genus as a surrogate query species. In certain cases, when there is interest in the susceptibility
of a particular species (e.g., honey bee) and in the case that there are numerous potential target species
(e.g., neonicotinoids are intended to cause mortality in a number of pest insects) the species of particular
concern may serve as the query species.
Query Protein: SeqAPASS can be queried with any protein sequence available in the NCBI protein
GenBank database, by protein name, or NCBI Accession. It is suggested that the user of SeqAPASS
examines their query protein and species in the NCBI protein database prior to submitting a run to
SeqAPASS (use NCBI link on query page). It is not uncommon for a protein of a specific species to be
represented by more than one sequence. In such cases there are some guiding principles for identification
of the best sequence available for the SeqAPASS run.
General guidelines: These guidelines describe best practices for identifying the most useful sequence for a
species susceptibility prediction in SeqAPASS, however, in some cases, limited sequence information is
available and therefore less desirable sequences may be used. It is up to the user of SeqAPASS to
recognize the quality and limitations of the sequence chosen for the SeqAPASS query. The information
about a particular protein can be found on the Protein page in the NCBI database
(http: //www .ncbi .nlm .nih. gov/protein/).

Identical proteins for AAA51771.1
Guiding principles: On the NCBI protein page, rows to examine include: "DEFINITION,"
"REFERENCES," COMMENTS," and "FEATURES." The information provided in these rows can aid a
SeqAPASS user in the identification of an ideal query sequence for SeqAPASS.
It is desirable to:
a. Use accessions with the following prefix: NP_
b. Avoid use of protein sequences labeled "partial," "PREDICTED," "PROVISIONAL," "INFERRED,"
or "hypothetical"
c. Avoid using those labeled "TPA" (Third Party Annotation), however if TP A is all that is available
"TPA: experimental" would be preferred over "TPA: inferential"
d. Look at the date associated with the protein in the "LOCUS" row of the detailed protein page. A more
recent date can have the most up-to-date annotation of the protein. Under the "DBSOURCE" row of the
detailed protein page other accessions associated with past protein sequences can be viewed. Many times,
if the "xrefs" row is heavily populated and has the most recent annotation update date, it is likely to be the
best sequence to use as a query sequence in SeqAPASS.
d. Short sequences should be avoided when possible as query sequences. Many times, if one selects the
protein from the protein output derived from the NCBI protein database query, they will find that the
short sequence is actually a partial sequence described in the "DEFINITION" row of the Protein page.
e. Unless there is reason for doing so (based on the question the user is trying to address), splice-variants
labeled in "FEATURES" rows of the Protein page as "alternatively spliced" would be less desirable
f. It is important to check the references associated with the selected query protein. In some cases, certain
sequences are associated with sensitivity to a given chemical. This can be particularly useful when
predicting susceptibility to pesticides, where certain strains of insects are produced to be readily sensitive
or insensitive to a chemical.

g. A secondary check of the sequence used in the SeqAPASS run would be to look at the output derived
and see whether ortholog candidates were detected. Ideally a preferential sequence would have more
ortholog candidates identified.
Important Note: To identify which query protein has the greatest number of Ortholog Candidates the user
can choose to submit multiple proteins with the same species and protein. Upon the Level 1 runs
completing for those similar proteins, the user can then select the "View SeqAPASS Reports" tab and
look at the table for "Ortholog Count" the protein with the highest number is likely to be the most
appropriate query species for a SeqAPASS evaluation.

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
Look for differences in the sequence (e.g., conserved residues, gaps) and start by eliminating sequences
that have gaps.
i. If, after the suggested evaluations of the proteins are performed, questions remain as to which sequence
would be best to run in SeqAPASS, run all relevant sequences in SeqAPASS for the evaluation. The
individual residue differences between commonly named sequences will become most important when
evaluating residues known to be important for binding the chemical or activating the protein (Level 3
SeqAPASS analysis). After completing the SeqAPASS run, select the data that has the greatest number of
ortholog candidates for your evaluation of conservation and further predictions of cross species
susceptibility. Depending on the protein of interest, multiple subunits may be associated with a protein. In
this case, all relevant subunits can be queried using SeqAPASS.
Level 1 Calculated Percent Similarity
The SeqAPASS algorithms submit the query to NCBFs standalone BLASTp (using default settings,
including BLOSUM-62 matrix), which aligns the query protein with all proteins available in the NCBI
protein database and provides a variety of metrics associated with each pairwise alignment between the
query and hit sequences. SeqAPASS selectively captures output from BLASTp, including one sequence
per species with the highest bit score. Detailed descriptions of metrics derived from BLASTp (e.g.,
BLASTp Bitscore, E-Value, Positives, Identity, Hit length) can be found in:
The NCBI Handbook: (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK21106/);
BLAST® Help: (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62051/) and the
NCBI Glossary Field Guide: (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Class/FieldGuide/glossary.html)
The top row of the Level 1 data corresponds to the queried protein selected by the user. For each sequence
queried, the Level 1, top row query sequence is used to determine the maximum bitscore for the analysis,
which is derived from aligning the query sequence to itself using BLASTp. To calculate percent
similarity, the bitscore for each hit sequence is normalized to the maximum bit score and then multiplied
by 100.
Note: SeqAPASS v2.0 and newer parse the BLASTp query and hit accessions to identify all the
species/accessions from the identical proteins. Therefore, if a hit sequence represents multiple species, all
species with the identical sequence will be found in the data table for Level 1 and Level 2. To determine
which sequence/species was identified from BLASTp as a hit and which sequence/species was parsed
from the identical sequence, view the "Full Report" for Level 1 or Level 2, column "Identical Protein,"
Where "N" is indicative of the original hit sequence and "Y" is the parsed sequence.
Common Domain Count
Reversed Position Specific BLAST (RPS BLAST) is used to compare each query and hit sequence to
conserved domains defined in NCBIs Conserved Domain Database. A hit domain is considered in
common with the query domain if it contains the same domain accession as the query and it aligns with
the NCBI curated domain with the same or greater amino acid residue coverage than the query sequence.

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
Ortholog Candidate Identification
Ortholog sequences are those that have diverged from a speciation event and therefore are more likely to
maintain similar function. SeqAPASS uses reciprocal best hit (RBH) BLAST for ortholog detection by
automatically comparing each hit protein to all protein sequences available for the query species and if the
original query protein or one of its identical protein matches is identified to by the best match to the hit or
maintain the same bitscore, then the hit sequence would be considered an ortholog candidate. The
sequence is indicated an Ortholog Candidate or not with a yes (Y) or no (N) in the column.
Note: Many NCBI protein accessions represent multiple identical protein sequences in the BLASTp
output. This is due to BLASTp querying and presenting data from the non-redundant protein database.
Sometimes the identical sequences are from different species. This can be checked by following the link
for the top row "NCBI Accession" in the table to the NCBI protein page. Below the protein name
[species] title will be a link to "Identical Proteins/'
Click the "Identical Proteins'' link and look for a sequence in the list from the user defined query species.

Note: If the top hit is a Protein DataBank (PDB) code (e.g., 1AHRA) from RBH BLAST there will be
no ortholog candidates identified. BLASTp when ran against all accessions for a given species does not
return PDB codes. It is recommended that the user identify a similar/identical sequence to the PDB code
and use that sequence as the query sequence.
Susceptibility cut-off
The susceptibility cut-off values listed on the "Level 1 (and Level 2) Susceptibility Cut-off' page are
determined by plotting the % similarity data from the "Primary Report" or "Full Report" and identifying
the local minimums in the data. The default cut-off is determined by taking the 1st local minimum and
moving up in percent similarity until the next ortholog candidate is found. The susceptibility cut-off
displayed in the list is the percent similarity of the identified ortholog candidate.
Criteria for Susceptibility Prediction (when "Primary> Report Settings " is set to "Species Read-Across: "
Yes)
All sequences identified above the susceptibility cut-off are predicted to be susceptible; therefore,
Susceptibility Prediction = Y for "yes"
If the hit sequence is below the susceptibility cut-off, but identified as an Ortholog Candidate = Y, for
"yes," then the hit is predicted to be susceptible; therefore, Susceptibility Prediction = Y for "yes"

Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS): User Guide
Updated 11/5/2020; Contact Carlie LaLone with Questions: LaLone.Carlie@epa.gov
If the hit sequence is below the susceptibility cut-off but belongs to any organism class found above the
susceptibility cut-off, the hit is predicted to be susceptible; therefore, Susceptibility Prediction = Y for
"yes". This criterion allows susceptibility predictions to be made across taxonomic groups based on the
likelihood that the sequences above the cut-off are better matches to the query.
If the hit sequence is below the susceptibility cut-off and not identified as an ortholog candidate (Ortholog
Candidate = N, for "no,") and does not belong to any organism class found above the susceptibility cut-
off, the hit is predicted to not be susceptible; therefore, Susceptibility Prediction = N for "no"
Note that the "Primary Report" may yield different Susceptibility Predictions than the "Full Report," as
the predictions are based on the data in the different reports. The Primary Report is filtered to only display
E-value <0.01 and Common Domain Count > 1.

If the hit sequence is below the susceptibility cut-off and not identified as an ortholog candidate (Ortholog
Candidate = N, for "no,"), the hit is predicted to not be susceptible; therefore, Susceptibility Prediction =
N for"no"
Level 2 Calculated Percent Similarity
Data obtained from the Level 1 RPS BLAST evaluation is used to assign sequence ranges that aligned
with a user selected domain (from the NCBI CDD database) to each accession from the Level 1 Full
report. BLASTp is then used to align the query domain range to each hit domain range. The percent
similarity is calculated based on the bit scores from the BLASTp alignment of the domain regions. For
each sequence queried, the Level 2, top row query species is used to determine the maximum bitscore for
the analysis, which is derived from aligning the query sequence to itself using BLASTp. To calculate
percent similarity, the bitscore for each hit sequence is normalized to the maximum bit score and then
multiplied by 100.
Susceptibility cut-off (same method as used in Level 1)
The susceptibility cut-offs listed on the "Level 2 Susceptibility Cut-off' page are determined by plotting
the % similarity data from the "Primary Report" or "Full Report" and identifying the local minimums in
the data. The default cut-off is determined by taking the 1st local minimum and moving up in percent
similarity until the next ortholog candidate is found. The susceptibility cut-off displayed in the list is the
percent similarity of the identified ortholog candidate.

Level 3 Sequence Alignments
COBALT is used to align all user selected sequences (from Level 1 hits) with a user defined template
sequence. Because COBALT algorithms align all sequences, it is recommended that the user align the
template sequence with sequences that are most similar to one another. To capture the most similar
sequences from the SeqAPASS data it is recommended that the user filter the Level 1 data by taxonomic
group and step through the Level 1 data pages one by one while selecting sequences. It is recommended
that the user look at the name of the sequence and exclude 'partial" sequences when possible. Requesting
a query from one taxonomic group at a time, breaks the data down in manageable alignments.
Selecting Amino Acid Residues to Align
The user may select up to 50 amino acid residues to compare across selected species in Level 3.
