Abstract

A wide range of web based prediction and annotation tools are frequently used for determining protein function from sequence. However, parallel processing of sequences for annotation through web tools is not possible due to several constraints in functional programming for multiple queries. Here, we propose the development of APAF as an automated protein annotation filter to overcome some of these difficulties through an integrated approach.
