DBSubLoc: database of protein subcellular localization.

We have built a protein subcellular localization annotation database, the DBSubLoc database, which is available at http://www.bioinfo.tsinghua. edu.cn/dbsubloc.html. Annotations were taken from primary protein databases, model organism genome projects and literature texts, and then were analyzed to dig out the subcellular localization features of the proteins. The proteins are also classified into different categories. Based on sequence alignment, non-redundant subsets of the database have been built, which may provide useful information for subcellular localization prediction. The database now contains >60,000 protein sequences including approximately 30,000 protein sequences in the non-redundant data sets. Online download, search and Blast tools are also available.

Mining gene expression data using a novel approach based on hidden Markov models.

In this work we have developed a new framework for microarray gene expression data analysis. This framework is based on hidden Markov models. We have benchmarked the performance of this probability model-based clustering algorithm on several gene expression datasets for which external evaluation criteria were available. The results showed that this approach could produce clusters of quality comparable to two prevalent clustering algorithms, but with the major advantage of determining the number of clusters. We have also applied this algorithm to analyze published data of yeast cell cycle gene expression and found it able to successfully dig out biologically meaningful gene groups. In addition, this algorithm can also find correlation between different functional groups and distinguish between function genes and regulation genes, which is helpful to construct a network describing particular biological associations. Currently, this method is limited to time series data. Supplementary materials are available at http://www.bioinfo.tsinghua.edu.cn/~rich/hmmgep_supp/.
