PREAL: prediction of allergenic protein by maximum Relevance Minimum Redundancy (mRMR) feature selection

摘要

BackgroundAssessment of potential allergenicity of protein is necessary whenever transgenic proteins are introduced into the food chain. Bioinformatics approaches in allergen prediction have evolved appreciably in recent years to increase sophistication and performance. However, what are the critical features for protein's allergenicity have been not fully investigated yet.
