Here, we present a protocol to utilize the latest version of the US Environmental Protection Agency Sequence Alignment to Predict Across Species Susceptibility (SeqAPASS) tool. This protocol demonstrates the application of the online tool to rapidly analyze protein conservation and provide customizable and easily interpretable predictions of chemical susceptibility across species.
