Masking residues using context-specific evolutionary conservation significantly improves short linear motif discovery

Motivation: Short linear motifs (SLiMs) are important mediators of protein-protein interactions. Their short and degenerate nature presents a challenge for computational discovery. We sought to improve SLiM discovery by incorporating evolutionary information, since SLiMs are more conserved than su...
