A bacterial phyla dataset for protein function prediction.

ABSTRACT: Protein function prediction has been the most worked upon and the most challenging problem for computational biologists. The vast majority of known proteins have yet not been characterised experimentally, and there is significant gap between their structures and functions. New un-annotated sequences are being added to the public protein databases (e.g. UniprotKB) at an enormous pace [1]. Such proteins with unknown functions might play key role in the metabolism, growth and development regulation. Thus, if functions of unknown proteins left undiscovered, researchers may skip important information(s). Based on their sequence, structure, evolutionary history, and their association with other proteins, tools of computational biology can provide insights into the function of proteins [2]. For p
