EffectorFisher: association of disease phenotype with pangenomic protein-isoform profiles for improved prediction of fungal pathogenicity effectors.

Abstract excerpt

Plant-pathogenic fungi cause crop disease via a range of secreted effector proteins that interact with specific receptors of host plant cells. Effector identification can enable the diagnosis of disease outcomes and enable selection or breeding of disease-resistant crop cultivars. Bioinformatic methods have been developed to predict proteins with 'effector-like' properties, but the resulting number of candidates...
