Predicting gene ontology functions from ProDom and CDD protein domains

Genome Research
Jonathan SchugChristian J Stoeckert

Abstract

A heuristic algorithm for associating Gene Ontology (GO) defined molecular functions to protein domains as listed in the ProDom and CDD databases is described. The algorithm generates rules for function-domain associations based on the intersection of functions assigned to gene products by the GO consortium that contain ProDom and/or CDD domains at varying levels of sequence similarity. The hierarchical nature of GO molecular functions is incorporated into rule generation. Manual review of a subset of the rules generated indicates an accuracy rate of 87% for ProDom rules and 84% for CDD rules. The utility of these associations is that novel sequences can be assigned a putative function if sufficient similarity exists to a ProDom or CDD domain for which one or more GO functions has been associated. Although functional assignments are increasingly being made for gene products from model organisms, it is likely that the needs of investigators will continue to outpace the efforts of curators, particularly for nonmodel organisms. A comparison with other methods in terms of coverage and agreement was performed, indicating the utility of the approach. The domain-function associations and function assignments are available from our web...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
