Abstract

The large amounts of biological information, linked to proteomes by means of the amino acid sequence, produce a need for algorithms that automate the use of functional descriptors. A requirement for functional computation is the availability of fully controlled descriptive terms (Karp 2000). Examples of basic computational tasks requiring functional terms are queries that use descriptions of a gene product, a cellular component, or a biological process to determine functional equality, predict new functions, reconstruct metabolic pathways, define gene expression profiles or recreate protein interaction maps.
