PathFams: statistical detection of pathogen-associated protein domains

Abstract Background A substantial fraction of genes identified within bacterial genomes encode proteins of unknown function. Identifying which of these proteins represent potential virulence factors, and mapping their key virulence determinants, is a challenging but important goal. Results To facili...
