Predicting protein function from domain content
MOTIVATION Computational assignment of protein function may be the single most vital application of bioinformatics in the post-genome era. These assignments are made based on various protein features, where one is the presence of identifiable domains. The relationship between protein domain content and function is important to investigate, to understand how domain combinations encode complex fu...
متن کاملPredicting Student Knowledge Level from Domain-Independent Function and Content Words
We explored the possibility of predicting the quality of student answers (error-ridden, vague, partially-correct, and correct) to tutor questions by examining their linguistic patterns in 50 tutoring sessions with expert human tutors. As an alternative to existing computational linguistic methods that focus on domain-dependent content words (e.g., velocity, RAM, speed) in interpreting a student...
متن کاملPredicting protein structure classes from function predictions
MOTIVATION We introduce a new approach to using the information contained in sequence-to-function prediction data in order to recognize protein template classes, a critical step in predicting protein structure. The data on which our method is based comprise probabilities of functional categories; for given query sequences these probabilities are obtained by a neural net that has previously been...
متن کاملIssues in Predicting Protein Function From Sequence
Identifying homologues, defined as genes that arose from a common evolutionary ancestor, is often a relatively straightforward task, thanks to recent advances made in estimating the statistical significance of sequence similarities found from database searches. The extent by which homologues possess similarities in function, however, is less amenable to statistical analysis. Consequently, predi...
