ProTeus: identifying signatures in protein termini

ProTeus (PROtein TErminUS) is a web-based tool for the identification of short linear signatures in protein termini. It is based on a position-based search method for revealing short signatures in termini of all proteins. The initial step in ProTeus development was to collect all signature groups (SIGs) based on their relative positions at the termini. The initial set of SIGs went through a seq...

Functional grouping based on signatures in protein termini.

The two ends of each protein are known as the amino (N-) and carboxyl (C-) termini. Short signatures in a protein's termini often carry vital cellular function. No systematic research has been conducted to address the importance of short signatures (3 to 10 amino acids) in protein termini at the proteomic level. Specifically, it is unknown whether such signatures are evolutionarily conserved, a...

Identifying Vehicles Using Vibrometry Signatures

Laser Vibrometry is an exciting new sensor technology that promises to improve automatic target recognition (ATR) performance. Sensors such as Micro-Laser Interferometer Doppler (MLID) measure minute vibrations on the surface of an object from a large standoff distance. In this paper, we demonstrate a baseline ATR algorithm designed for vibrometry data that can reliably recognize military vehic...

Codes Identifying Bad Signatures in Bat hesJaros

Codes Identifying Bad Signatures in Batches

The work is concerned with identification of bad signatures in a sequence which is validated using batching. Identification codes (id-codes) are defined and their general properties are investigated. A taxonomy of idcodes is given. The generic construction for a wide range of id-codes is given and its instantiation using mutually orthogonal Latin squares is described. Hierarchical identificatio...
