Which of the following is an incorrect statement about SignalP?(a) It only uses neural networks(b) It only uses HMMs(c) It is a web-based program that predicts subcellular localization signals(d) It uses both neural networks and HMMsI have been asked this question during an online interview.This interesting question is from Protein Sorting topic in division Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer»

The correct choice is (B) It only uses HMMs

Easy explanation: The neural network algorithm combines two different scores, one for recognizing signal peptides and the other for protease CLEAVAGE sites. The HMM-based analysis discriminates between signal peptides and the N-terminal transmembrane anchor segments REQUIRED for insertion of the protein into the membrane.
