Identification of Proteins Secreted by Malaria Parasite into Erythrocyte using SVM and PSSM profiles

摘要

BackgroundMalaria parasite secretes various proteins in infected RBC for its growth and survival. Thus identification of these secretory proteins is important for developing vaccine/drug against malaria. The existing motif-based methods have got limited success due to lack of universal motif in all secretory proteins of malaria parasite.
