Popis: | Low Complexity Regions (LCRs) are fragments of protein sequences that are characterized by a small diversity in amino acid composition. LCRs could play important roles in protein functions or they could be relevant to protein structure. However, for many years, low complexity regions were ignored by the scientific community which resulted in lack of algorithms and tools that could be used to analyze this specific type of protein sequences. |
