Support vector machine method on predicting resistance gene against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae in rice

摘要

MotivationIdentification of disease-resistant genes in the rice is a tough work in various experimental studies. Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) which causes bacterial blight are considered to be the most devastating diseases in most rice-growing regions. However, currently there is no existing method for the prediction of disease-resistant genes from sequence data. Accurate prediction of Xoo from protein sequences is illuminating for gene finding projects.
