An efficient algorithm for large-scale detection of protein families

TL;DR: This work presents a novel approach called TRIBE-MCL for rapid and accurate clustering of protein sequences into families based on precomputed sequence similarity information that has been rigorously tested and validated on a number of very large databases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prediction of protein function from protein sequence and structure.

TL;DR: The state of the art in function prediction is reviewed and some of the underlying difficulties and successes are described, including inferring conservation patterns in members of a functionally uncharacterized family for which many sequences and structures are known.
Journal ArticleDOI

Errors in genome annotation.

TL;DR: This analysis compares three different groups' functional annotation for the Mycoplasma genitalium genome, and finds that the results are disappointing for those expecting reliable annotation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Practical Limits of Function Prediction

TL;DR: A critical view of the theoretical and practical bases for the practice of assigning a potential function to a protein on the basis of sequence similarity to proteins whose function has been experimentally investigated is presented.

The ancient regulatory-protein family of WD-repeat proteins

TL;DR: WD proteins are made up of highly conserved repeating units usually ending with Trp-Asp (WD), and criteria for grouping such proteins into functional subfamilies are defined.
