Abstract
MOTIVATION: Recognition of protein subcellular distribution patterns and identification of location biomarker proteins in cancer tissues are important for understanding protein functions and related diseases. Immunohistochemical (IHC) images enable visualizing the distribution of proteins at the tissue level, providing an important resource for the protein localization studies. In the past decades, several image-based protein subcellular location prediction methods have been developed, but the prediction accuracies still have much space to improve due to the complexity of protein patterns resulting from multi-label proteins and the variation of location patterns across cell types or states.
