Journal ArticleDOI
Protein function annotation by homology-based inference
Yaniv Loewenstein,Domenico Raimondo,Oliver C. Redfern,James D. Watson,Dmitrij Frishman,Michal Linial,Christine A. Orengo,Janet M. Thornton,Anna Tramontano +8 more
TL;DR: Progress in the automated prediction of protein function based on protein sequence and structure is reviewed in the BioSapiens Network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient algorithms for accurate hierarchical clustering of huge datasets
TL;DR: A novel class of memory-constrained UPGMA (MC-UPGMA) algorithms are presented, which demonstrate that leveraging the entire mass embodied in all sequence similarities allows to significantly improve on current protein family clusterings which are unable to directly tackle the sheer mass of this data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connect the dots
Yaniv Loewenstein,Michal Linial +1 more
TL;DR: A method to systematically identify remote evolutionary relations between protein families, leveraging a novel evolutionary-driven tree of all protein sequences and families, and is able to relate several bacterial pore-forming toxin families and then link them with a novel family of eukaryotic toxins expressed in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safe Functional Inference for Uncharacterized Viral Proteins
Yaniv Loewenstein,Michal Linial +1 more
TL;DR: The ProtoNet resource is used to develop a methodology for a consistent and safe functional inference for remote families, and a new clustering scheme is provided based on direct clustering of all detectable sequence similarities.
