Abstract
Uncharacterized proteins pose a challenge not just to functional genomics, but also to biology in general. The knowledge of biochemical functions of such proteins is very critical for designing efficient therapeutic techniques. The bot- tleneck in hypothetical proteins annotation is the difficulty in collecting and aggregating enough biological information about the protein itself. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a protein annotation technique that aggregates different biological infor- mation conserved across many hypothetical proteins. To enhance the performance and to increase the prediction accuracy, we incorporate term specific relationships based on Gene Ontology (GO). Our method combines PPI (Protein Protein Interactions) data, protein motifs information, protein sequence similarity and protein homology data, with a context similarity measure based on Gene Ontology, to accurately infer functional information for unannotated proteins. We apply our method on Saccharomyces Cerevisiae species proteins. The aggregation of different sources of evidence with GO relationships increases the precision and accuracy of prediction compared to other methods reported in literature. We predicted with a precision and accuracy of 100% for more than half proteins of the input set and with an overall 81.35% precision and 80.04% accuracy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
