DomML, a novel ab initio protein domain prediction method based on domain size distribution
BackgroundProtein domains represent a goldmine of information regarding tertiary structure prediction, protein classification, or functional inference. Thus predicting domains from data such as sequence and secondary structure is a crucial task. Indeed, its importance is such that a bi-annual competition is held to assess the performance of the different algorithms.State-of-the-art domain prediction algorithms rely on both template-based and ab initio approaches but the latter, which mostly use neural networks, are still unreliable as they exhibit low accuracy on multi-domain proteins.
