Computational prediction of allergenic proteins based on multi-feature fusion.

ABSTRACT: Allergy is an autoimmune disorder described as an undesirable response of the immune system to typically innocuous substance in the environment. Studies have shown that the ability of proteins to trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals can be evaluated by bioinformatics tools. However, developing computational methods to accurately identify new allergenic proteins remains a vital challenge. This work aims to propose a machine learning model based on multi-feature fusion for predicting allergenic proteins efficiently. Firstly, we prepared a benchmark dataset of allergenic and non-allergenic protein sequences and pretested on it with a machine-learning platform. Then, three preferable feature extraction methods, including amino acid composition (AAC), dipeptide composition (DPC
