Figure 5

Effects of sequence identities on the precision of several search methods. The structure similarity search method, SARST, was able to detect remote homology with increased precisions compared with other linear encoding algorithms and the conventional amino acid sequence search method, BLAST. These data also show that there is still room left for the improvement of linear encoding methodology. Possible solutions are proposed in Discussion. The average precisions used in this figure were calculated at the representative 60% recall level.
