Biases in the Experimental Annotations of Protein Function and Their Effect on Our Understanding of Protein Function Space
2013
PLoS Computational Biology
Knowing that these biases exist and understanding their characteristics and extent is important for database curators, developers of function annotation programs, and anyone who uses protein function annotation ...
Since each of the dominant articles describes the use of an assay that can find only one function or a small group of functions, this leads to substantial biases in what we know about the function of many ...
We are especially grateful to Rachael Huntley for careful reading of the manuscript and for providing detailed explanations of annotation provenance and methodology in UniProt.

Protein function in precision medicine: deep understanding with machine learning
2016
FEBS Letters
Instead, we need to better understand all parts of the system to define medically relevant causes and effects: how do particular sequence variants affect particular proteins and pathways? ...
How do these effects, in turn, cause the health or disease-related phenotype? ...
Databases of experimentally determined protein structures [16, 17] and annotations [18, 19] , are extremely biased, i.e., they are representative of the current state-of-the-art of experimental science ...
