Supervised segmentation of phenotype descriptions for the human skeletal phenome using hybrid methods.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) lack an ordered three-dimensional structure and are enriched in various biological processes. The Molecular Recognition Features (MoRFs) are functional regions within IDPs that undergo a disorder-to-order transition on binding to a partner protein. Identifying MoRFs i...
