Comparison of the consensus among the top three best-performing descriptors
PSI-BLASTa | SSEA | Motifb | |
PSI-BLAST | — | 36 (10) | 36 (15) |
SSEA | — | 30 (5) | |
Motif | — |
The value outside the parentheses denotes the total number of proteins where the remote homologs could be correctly recognized by both methods, while the value inside the parentheses denotes the number of proteins where identical remote homologs could be retrieved by both methods.
a Based on the modified e-value from PSI-BLAST searching (i.e., PSIBLAST_SIM).
b Based on the PROSITE motif-fold correlation in the SCOP database (i.e., MOTIF_SCOP_SIM).
