Trying Deep Learning-Based GO Term Annotation

Deep learning has achieved remarkable results in natural language processing. For predicting protein function through GO Term annotation from amino acid sequences, homology searches such as BLAST have traditionally been the dominant approach. Recently, several tools have begun performing function prediction using deep learning. In this post, we try out DeepGOPlus.
