Title
S2L-PSIBLAST: a supervised two-layer search framework based on PSI-BLAST for protein remote homology detection
Abstract
Motivation: Protein remote homology detection is a challenging task for the studies of protein evolutionary relationships. PSI-BLAST is an important and fundamental search method for detecting homology proteins. Although many improved versions of PSI-BLAST have been proposed, their performance is limited by the search processes of PSI-BLAST. Results: For further improving the performance of PSI-BLAST for protein remote homology detection, a supervised two-layer search framework based on PSI-BLAST (S2L-PSIBLAST) is proposed. S2L-PSIBLAST consists of a twolevel search: the first-level search provides high-quality search results by using SMI-BLAST framework and double-link strategy to filter the non-homology protein sequences, the second-level search detects more homology proteins by profile-link similarity, and more accurate ranking lists for those detected protein sequences are obtained by learning to rank strategy. Experimental results on the updated version of Structural Classification of Proteins-extended benchmark dataset show that S2L-PSIBLAST not only obviously improves the performance of PSI-BLAST, but also achieves better performance on two improved versions of PSI-BLAST: DELTA-BLAST and PSI-BLASTexB.
