Benchmarking subcellular localization and variant tolerance predictors on membrane proteins.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sweet sorghum is an annual C4 crop considered to be one of the most promising bio-energy crops due to its high sugar content in stem, yet it is poorly understood how this plant increases its sugar content in response to salt stress. In response to high NaCl, many of its major processes, such as photosynthesi...
