Protein function predictionProtein function prediction methods are techniques that bioinformatics researchers use to assign biological or biochemical roles to proteins. These proteins are usually ones that are poorly studied or predicted based on genomic sequence data. These predictions are often driven by data-intensive computational procedures. Information may come from nucleic acid sequence homology, gene expression profiles, protein domain structures, text mining of publications, phylogenetic profiles, phenotypic profiles, and protein-protein interaction.
Prédiction de gènesEn bio-informatique, la prédiction de gènes consiste à identifier les zones de l'ADN qui correspondent à des gènes (le reste étant non codant). Les méthodes par similitudes, aussi appelées méthodes par homologie ou méthodes extrinsèques, consistent à utiliser des informations extérieures au génome pour trouver les gènes. Plus précisément, ces méthodes consistent à comparer la séquence étudiée avec des séquences connues, rassemblées dans les bases de données.
InteractomeIn molecular biology, an interactome is the whole set of molecular interactions in a particular cell. The term specifically refers to physical interactions among molecules (such as those among proteins, also known as protein–protein interactions, PPIs; or between small molecules and proteins) but can also describe sets of indirect interactions among genes (genetic interactions). The word "interactome" was originally coined in 1999 by a group of French scientists headed by Bernard Jacq.
