EUCLID: automatic classification of proteins in functional classes by their database annotations

Bioinformatics. 1998;14(6):542-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/14.6.542.

Abstract

A tool is described for the automatic classification of sequences in functional classes using their database annotations. The Euclid system is based on a simple learning procedure from examples provided by human experts.

Availability: Euclid is freely available for academics at http://www.gredos.cnb.uam.es/EUCLID, with the corresponding dictionaries for the generation of three, eight and 14 functional classes.
