LocTree3 prediction of localization.

Nucleic acids research | 2014

The prediction of protein sub-cellular localization is an important step toward elucidating protein function. For each query protein sequence, LocTree2 applies machine learning (profile kernel SVM) to predict the native sub-cellular localization in 18 classes for eukaryotes, in six for bacteria and in three for archaea. The method outputs a score that reflects the reliability of each prediction. LocTree2 has performed on par with or better than any other state-of-the-art method. Here, we report the availability of LocTree3 as a public web server. The server includes the machine learning-based LocTree2 and improves over it through the addition of homology-based inference. Assessed on sequence-unique data, LocTree3 reached an 18-state accuracy Q18=80±3% for eukaryotes and a six-state accuracy Q6=89±4% for bacteria. The server accepts submissions ranging from single protein sequences to entire proteomes. Response time of the unloaded server is about 90 s for a 300-residue eukaryotic protein and a few hours for an entire eukaryotic proteome not considering the generation of the alignments. For over 1000 entirely sequenced organisms, the predictions are directly available as downloads. The web server is available at http://www.rostlab.org/services/loctree3.

EBI Genomes (tool)

RRID:SCR_002426

The EBI genomes pages give access to a large number of complete genomes including bacteria, archaea, viruses, phages, plasmids, viroids and eukaryotes. Methods using whole genome shotgun data are used to gain a large amount of genome coverage for an organism. WGS data for a growing number of organisms are being submitted to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank. Genome entries have been listed in their appropriate category which may be browsed using the website navigation tool bar on the left. While organelles are all listed in a separate category, any from Eukaryota with chromosome entries are also listed in the Eukaryota page. Within each page, entries are grouped and sorted at the species level with links to the taxonomy page for that species separating each group. Within each species, entries whose source organism has been categorized further are grouped and numbered accordingly. Links are made to: * taxonomy * complete EMBL flatfile * CON files * lists of CON segments * Project * Proteomes pages * FASTA file of Proteins * list of Proteins
