Inference of protein function and protein linkages in Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on prokaryotic genome organization: a combined computational approach

Michael Strong, Parag Mallick, Matteo Pellegrini, Michael J Thompson, David Eisenberg Genome Biology 2003, 4:R59 (29 August 2003)

Abstract | Full text | PDF | PubMed | Cited on BioMed Central | Editor’s summary

The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was used to evaluate and employ a method to infer genes likely to belong to the same operon, as judged by the nucleotide distance between genes in the same genomic orientation, and this method was combined with those of the Rosetta Stone, Phylogenetic Profile and conserved Gene Neighbor computational methods for the inference of protein function.
