Researchers Introduce High-Performance Deep Learning Toolbox for Genome-Scale Prediction of Protein Structure and Function

Gene functional annotation refers to correctly inferring a gene’s function from its sequence, a critical role in the biological sciences. The exponential expansion in the number of sequenced genomes has been fueled by dramatic breakthroughs in next-generation sequencing technologies, resulting in an increasing bottleneck of incorrect gene annotation. Computational techniques can help eliminate the gene-annotation bottleneck by taking advantage of this vast amount of data.
