title = "GOASVM: Protein subcellular localization prediction based on Gene ontology annotation and SVM",
abstract = "Protein subcellular localization is an essential step to annotate proteins and to design drugs. This paper proposes a functional-domain based method-GOASVM-by making full use of Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) database to predict the subcellular locations of proteins. GOASVM uses the accession number (AC) of a query protein and the accession numbers (ACs) of homologous proteins returned from PSI-BLAST as the query strings to search against the GOA database. The occurrences of a set of predefined GO terms are used to construct the GO vectors for classification by support vector machines (SVMs). The paper investigated two different approaches to constructing the GO vectors. Experimental results suggest that using the ACs of homologous proteins as the query strings can achieve an accuracy of 94.68%, which is significantly higher than all published results based on the same dataset. As a user-friendly web-server, GOASVM is freely accessible to the public at http://bioinfo.eie. polyu.edu.hk/mGoaSvmServer/GOASVM.html.",
