Abstract:Background: The evolutionary rate of disordered proteins varies greatly due to the lack of structural constraints. So far, few studies have investigated the presence/absence patterns of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) across phylogenies in conjunction with human disease. In this study, we report a genome-wide analysis of compositional bias association with disease in human proteins and their taxonomic distribution. Methods: The human genome protein set provided by the Ensembl database was annotated and… Show more
