An automated and combinative method for the predictive ranking of candidate effector proteins of fungal plant pathogens
Abstract Fungal plant-pathogens promote infection of their hosts through the release of ‘effectors’—a broad class of cytotoxic or virulence-promoting molecules. Effectors may be recognised by resistance or sensitivity receptors in the host, which can determine disease outcomes. Accurate prediction o...

Abstract Fungal plant-pathogens promote infection of their hosts through the release of ‘effectors’—a broad class of cytotoxic or virulence-promoting molecules.

This study presents a novel tool and pipeline for the ranking of predicted effector candidates—Predector—which interfaces with multiple software tools and methods, aggregates disparate features that are relevant to fungal effector proteins, and applies a pairwise learning to rank approach.
