Abstract:The identification of protein functions is crucial for understanding microbial life at a molecular scale. While computational methods for annotating protein sequences have greatly advanced in recent years, 30% of all bacterial and 65% of all viral protein sequences cannot be attributed a known biological function. As a result, protein function inference remains a fundamental challenge in computational biology. This paper reviews various bioinformatics methods for annotating microbial and viral proteins, catego… Show more
