Summary
- InterPro integrates protein signatures from multiple member databases into a single searchable resource
- The member databases employ various methods of producing signatures, and cover a range of biological focuses
- Even similar resources (such as the 3 case studies) employ subtly different methods of generating signatures
- It is possible to automatically compare these signatures to generate predicted hierarchies of protein signature models
- These predictions can greatly assist in the manual process of integrating signatures into InterPro entries
