ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btl621 | Abstract: | Summary: Assessment of potential allergenicity and patterns of cross-reactivity is necessary whenever novel proteins are introduced into human food chain. Current bioinformatic methods in allergology focus mainly on the prediction of allergenic proteins, with no information on cross-reactivity patterns among known allergens. In this study, we present AllerTool, a web server with essential tools for the assessment of predicted as well as published cross-reactivity patterns of allergens. The analysis tools include graphical representation of allergen cross-reactivity information; a local sequence comparison tool that displays information of known cross-reactive allergens; a sequence similarity search tool for assessment of cross-reactivity in accordance to FAO/WHO Codex alimentarius guidelines; and a method based on support vector machine (SVM). A 10-fold cross-validation results showed that the area under the receiver operating curve (A ROC ) of SVM models is 0.90 with 86.00% sensitivity (SE) at specificity (SP) of 86.00%. © 2007 Oxford University Press. | Source Title: | Bioinformatics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/100036 | ISSN: | 13674803 | DOI: | 10.1093/bioinformatics/btl621 |
