Efficient inference of homologs in large eukaryotic pan-proteomes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:High-throughput sequencing has rapidly become an essential part of precision cancer medicine. But validating results obtained from analyzing and interpreting genomic data remains a rate-limiting factor. The gold standard, of course, remains manual validation by expert panels, which is not without its weaknes...
