Systematic discovery of novel eukaryotic transcriptional regulators using sequence homology independent prediction

Abstract Background The molecular function of a gene is most commonly inferred by sequence similarity. Therefore, genes that lack sufficient sequence similarity to characterized genes (such as certain classes of transcriptional regulators) are difficult to classify using most function prediction alg...
