Abstract

UNLABELLED: A tool is described for the automatic classification of sequences in functional classes using their database annotations. The Euclid system is based on a simple learning procedure from examples provided by human experts. AVAILABILITY: Euclid is freely available for academics at http://www.gredos.cnb.uam.es/EUCLID, with the corresponding dictionaries for the generation of three, eight and 14 functional classes. CONTACT: E-mail: [email protected] SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The results of the EUCLID classification of different genomes are available at http://www.sander.ebi.ac. uk/genequiz/. A detailed description of the different applications mentioned in the text is available at http://www.gredos.cnb.uam. es/EUCLID/Full_Paper
