TL;DR: The second critical assessment of functional annotation (CAFA), a timed challenge to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function, was conducted by as mentioned in this paper. But the results of the CAFA2 assessment are limited.

TL;DR: The second critical assessment of functional annotation (CAFA) conducted, a timed challenge to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function, revealed that the definition of top-performing algorithms is ontology specific, that different performance metrics can be used to probe the nature of accurate predictions, and the relative diversity of predictions in the biological process and human phenotype ontologies.

TL;DR: The second Critical Assessment of Functional Annotation (CAFA) challenge as mentioned in this paper was the first attempt to assess computational methods that automatically assign protein function. And the results of CAFA2 showed that computational function prediction is improving.

TL;DR: Two transcriptome sets were built that are valuable resources for marker development, comparative genomic studies and candidate gene approaches and deeper sequencing and using more tissues and stages is advisable for extended comparative studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural homology in euchromatin regions of tomato, potato and pepper with special attention for the long arm of chromosome 2 (2L) was analyzed using multi-color BAC FISH analysis and comparative sequence alignment.
