CytoSVM -- Cytokine Support Vector Machine
What you can do:
An advanced server for identification of cytokine-receptor interactions.
Highlights:
- To discover novel cytokine-receptor interactions, an advanced support vector machines (SVMs) model, CytoSVM, was constructed.
- This model was iteratively trained using 449 mammal (except rat) cytokine-receptor interactions and about 1 million virtually generated positive and negative vectors in an enriched way.
- Final independent evaluation by rat's data received sensitivity of 97.4%, specificity of 99.2% and the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.89.
- A web-based server was created to accept primary protein sequence and present its probabilities to interact with one or several cytokines.
- Moreover, this model was applied to identify putative cytokine-receptor pairs in the whole genomes of human and mouse.
- Excluding currently known cytokine-receptor interactions, total 1609 novel cytokine-receptor pairs were discovered from human genome with probability approximately 80% after further transmembrane analysis.
- These cover 220 novel receptors (excluding their isoforms) for 126 human cytokines.
