Protein function prediction is an active area of research in bioinformatics. And yet, transfer of annotation on the basis of sequence or structural similarity remains widely used ...
Abstract. This paper proposes a novel Ant Colony Optimisation algorithm for the hierarchical problem of predicting protein functions using the Gene Ontology (GO). The GO structure ...

The Gene Ontology (GO) is a controlled vocabulary of terms to describe protein functions. It also includes a hierarchical description of the relationships among the terms in the f...
Background: Conserved protein sequence motifs are short stretches of amino acid sequence patterns that potentially encode the function of proteins. Several sequence pattern search...
Background: Biological data that are well-organized by an ontology, such as Gene Ontology, enables high-throughput availability of the semantic web. It can also be used to facilit...
