Journal ArticleDOI

Making automated multiple alignments of very large numbers of protein sequences

TL;DR: It is found that the accuracy of such alignments decreases markedly as the number of sequences grows, and the availability of high quality curated alignments will have to complement algorithmic and/or software developments in the long-term.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PhyloFacts FAT-CAT web server: ortholog identification and function prediction using fast approximate tree classification

TL;DR: Results on a data set of microbial, plant and animal proteins demonstrate FAT-CAT’s high precision at separating orthologs and paralogs and robustness to promiscuous domains and the precision of ortholog identification based on subtree hidden Markov model scoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

High DNA melting temperature predicts transcription start site location in human and mouse

TL;DR: Looking in detail at melting temperature, which measures the temperature, at which two strands of DNA separate, it is found that peaks in melting temperature correspond closely to experimentally determined transcription start sites in human and mouse chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ensemble approach combining multiple methods improves human transcription start site prediction

TL;DR: The heterogeneity of current prediction sets is demonstrated, and a two-level classifier ('Profisi Ensemble') is constructed using predictions from 7 programs, along with 2 other data sources, to achieve a 14% increase over the current state of the art, as benchmarked by a third-party tool.
