Using an optimal set of features with a machine learning-based approach to predict effector proteins for Legionella pneumophila.

Type IV secretion systems exist in a number of bacterial pathogens and are used to secrete effector proteins directly into host cells in order to change their environment making the environment hospitable for the bacteria. In recent years, several machine learning algorithms have been developed to p...
