Plant-mPLoc: a top-down strategy to augment the power for predicting plant protein subcellular localization.

One of the fundamental goals in proteomics and cell biology is to identify the functions of proteins in various cellular organelles and pathways. Information of subcellular locations of proteins can provide useful insights for revealing their functions and understanding how they interact with each o...
