چکیده

The lethality of a gene is a fundamental and representative measure for understanding the function of a gene and its associated bio-systems. Recently, many research groups have started focusing on the concept of synthetic lethality. The synthetic lethality between genes is defined by the combination of mutations in two genes causing cell death. Here, we confirm that synthetic lethality and cellular location have close relationships among the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes. Furthermore, we attempt the prediction of candidate gene pairs with synthetic lethality. The prediction is based on the hierarchical aspect model (HAM) which learns from a data set of cellular location to estimate a likelihood value indicating the synthetic lethality between genes.

EchoLOCATION: an in silico analysis of the subcellular locations of Escherichia coli proteins and comparison with experimentally derived locations

SUMMARY EchoLOCATION is a database that provides a comprehensive analysis of the subcellular locations of Escherichia coli K-12 proteins. Locations are predicted by integrating data from a range of publicly available algorithms combined with extensive curation of experimental literature. The data can be searched in a variety of ways and can generate lists of subcellular proteomes for analysis. ...

Prediction of protein subcellular locations using Markov chain models.

A novel method was introduced to predict protein subcellular locations from sequences. Using sequence data, this method achieved a prediction accuracy higher than previous methods based on the amino acid composition. For three subcellular locations in a prokaryotic organism, the overall prediction accuracy reached 89.1%. For eukaryotic proteins, prediction accuracies of 73.0% and 78.7% were att...

Using Gene Essentiality and Synthetic Lethality Information to Correct Yeast and CHO Cell Genome-Scale Models.

Essentiality (ES) and Synthetic Lethality (SL) information identify combination of genes whose deletion inhibits cell growth. This information is important for both identifying drug targets for tumor and pathogenic bacteria suppression and for flagging and avoiding gene deletions that are non-viable in biotechnology. In this study, we performed a comprehensive ES and SL analysis of two importan...

Using neural networks for prediction of the subcellular location of proteins.

Neural networks have been trained to predict the subcellular location of proteins in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells from their amino acid composition. For three possible subcellular locations in prokaryotic organisms a prediction accuracy of 81% can be achieved. Assigning a reliability index, 33% of the predictions can be made with an accuracy of 91%. For eukaryotic proteins (excluding plant s...
