Functional annotation of regulatory pathways [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Standardized annotations of biomolecules in interaction networks (e.g. Gene Ontology) provide comprehensive understanding of the function of individual molecules. Extending such annotations to pathways is a critical component of functional characterization of cellular signaling at the systems level ...

PINOT: an intuitive resource for integrating protein-protein interactions
Background The past decade has seen the rise of omics data for the understanding of biological systems in health and disease. This wealth of information includes protein-protein interaction (PPI) data derived from both low- and high-throughput assays ...

Review on the Computational Genome Annotation of Sequences Obtained by Next-Generation Sequencing
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has made it easier to obtain genome-wide sequence data and it has shifted the research focus into genome annotation. The challenging tasks involved in annotation rely on the currently available tools and techniques to ...

Bacterial riboproteogenomics : the era of N-terminal proteoform existence revealed [PDF]
With the rapid increase in the number of sequenced prokaryotic genomes, relying on automated gene annotation became a necessity. Multiple lines of evidence, however, suggest that current bacterial genome annotations may contain inconsistencies and are ...

Phylogenetic molecular function annotation
It is now easier to discover thousands of protein sequences in a new microbial genome than it is to biochemically characterize the specific activity of a single protein of unknown function. The molecular functions of protein sequences have typically been predicted using homology-based computational methods, which rely on the principle that homologous ...

Towards Site-Based Protein Functional Annotations [PDF]
The exact relationship between protein active centres and protein functions is unclear even after decades of intensive study. To improve functional prediction ability based on the local structures, we proposed three different methods. 1. We used Markov Random Field (MRF) to describe protein active region. 2. We developed filtering method that considers

Functional annotation of noncoding sequence variants [PDF]
Identifying functionally relevant variants against the background of ubiquitous genetic variation is a major challenge in human genetics. For variants in protein-coding regions, our understanding of the genetic code and splicing allows us to identify likely candidates, but interpreting variants outside genic regions is more difficult.

Annotation Enrichment Analysis: An Alternative Method for Evaluating the Functional Properties of Gene Sets [PDF]
Gene annotation databases (compendiums maintained by the scientific community that describe the biological functions performed by individual genes) are commonly used to evaluate the functional properties of experimentally derived gene sets.
