A deep learning based approach for prediction of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phosphorylation sites

Abstract Protein phosphorylation, which is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs), is involved in regulating myriad cellular processes. Herein, we present a novel deep learning based approach for organism-specific protein phosphorylation site prediction in Chlamydomonas re...
