Re-annotation of SARS-CoV-2 proteins using an HHpred-based approach opens new opportunities for a better understanding of this virus by Brézellec, Pierre

“…As it is now well established that some viral proteins share similarities with proteins of their hosts, we decided to explore the hypothesis that this lack of homologies could be, at least in part, the result of the documented loss of sensitivity of Pfam Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) when searching for domains in "divergent organisms". In order to improve the annotation of SARS-CoV-2 proteins, we used the HHpred protein annotation tool. …”
