Viruses of bacteria, "phages," are fundamental, poorly understood components of microbial community structure and function. Additionally, their dependence on hosts for replication positions phages as unique sensors of ecosystem features and environme...
Annotating active sites in enzymes is crucial for advancing multiple fields including drug discovery, disease research, enzyme engineering, and synthetic biology. Despite the development of numerous automated annotation algorithms, a significant trad...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a type of Gram-negative bacterium which can cause a range of infections in human. In recent years, an increasing number of strains of K. pneumoniae resistant to multiple antibiotics have emerged, posing a significant threat t...
Enzymes are indispensable in many biological processes, and with biomedical literature growing exponentially, effective literature review becomes increasingly challenging. Natural language processing methods offer solutions to streamline this process...
BACKGROUND: The advent of high-throughput technologies has led to an exponential increase in uncharacterized bacterial protein sequences, surpassing the capacity of manual curation. A large number of bacterial protein sequences remain unannotated by ...
Protein function annotation has been one of the longstanding issues in biological sciences, and various computational methods have been developed. However, the existing methods suffer from a serious long-tail problem, with a large number of GO famili...
Functional annotation of open reading frames in microbial genomes remains substantially incomplete. Enzymes constitute the most prevalent functional gene class in microbial genomes and can be described by their specific catalytic functions using the ...
We are now entering a new era in protein sequence and structure annotation, with hundreds of millions of predicted protein structures made available through the AlphaFold database. These models cover nearly all proteins that are known, including thos...
Enzyme function annotation is a fundamental challenge, and numerous computational tools have been developed. However, most of these tools cannot accurately predict functional annotations, such as enzyme commission (EC) number, for less-studied protei...
Comprehensive protein function annotation is essential for understanding microbiome-related disease mechanisms in the host organisms. However, a large portion of human gut microbial proteins lack functional annotation. Here, we have developed a new m...
