Automated Function Prediction: sifting through the biological data labelled as unknown function

Tying in with the Automated Function Prediction-Special Interest Group (AFP-SIG) at the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) meetings, this thematic series highlights function prediction using sequence-based methods, function from genomic information, molecular interactions, structure, use of combined methods, and phylogeny-based methods. Articles can also take advantage of GigaDB to host data and tools to promote reproducible research and further collaboration amongst computational biologists crossing many different data domains.
