Effect of orienteering experience on walking and running in the absence of vision and hearing.

abstract：:Accurate identification of protein-protein interactions (PPI) is the key step in understanding proteins' biological functions, which are typically context-dependent. Many existing PPI predictors rely on aggregated features from protein sequences, however only a few methods exploit local information about specific resi...
