Signal peptides (SPs) are short amino acid sequences that control protein secretion and translocation in all living organisms. SPs can be predicted from sequence data, but existing algorithms are unable to detect all known types of SPs. We introduce SignalP 6.0, a machine learning model that detects all five SP types and is applicable to metagenomic data.
信号肽(SPs)是控制所有生物体内蛋白质分泌和转运的短氨基酸序列。SP 可以从序列数据中预测,但现有的算法无法检测到所有已知类型的 SPs。我们引入了 SignalP 6.0,这是一种机器学习模型,可检测所有五种 SP 类型,并且适用于宏基因组数据。
