Abstract excerpt
Flagellin, the structural protein of bacterial flagella, activates the innate immune receptor Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5). However, the ability of different flagellins to bind and stimulate TLR5 varies widely, suggesting that the composition of an individual's flagellin repertoire, defined as flagellome, may influence host-microbiome interactions and inflammation. Here, we developed FlaPro, a computational...
