Deciphering the polycistronic nature of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoproteins of unknown functions
Blanco, F. C.; Bigi, F.
Show abstract
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of human tuberculosis, encodes 116 lipoproteins, from which 48 have no demonstrated or predicted function. In this study, we demonstrated that six genes of these lipoproteins of unknown function are encoded in transcriptional units together with genes with experimentally verified functions or that encode conserved functional domains. We assigned predicted functions to LpqT (Rv1016c), LppE (1881c), LppO (Rv2290), LprE (Rv1252c) and LpqF (Rv3593).

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
