Détail du sujet

Introduction : In the current post-genomic era, we have resolved the sequence of thousands of proteins, but not their function.  Many protein function prediction servers exist, providing a computational
prediction of protein function from structural or family homologs, or by text mining scientific publications.

Project : Our aim is to create a working web server for protein function meta-prediction.  Meta prediction combines the predictions of several web servers into a consensus prediction.  The students will interface to these protein function prediction servers and translate the output into consensus gene ontology (GO) terms using public and locally installed databases.

Requirements : Solid knowledge of Apache, HTML, PHP and MySQL; working knowledge of linux systems.
