Abstract
AbstractTranscription Factors (TFs) are proteins that control the flow of genetic information by regulating cellular gene expression. Here we describe PredicTF, a first platform supporting the prediction and classification of novel bacterial TF in complex microbial communities. We evaluated PredicTF using a two-step approach. First, we tested PredictTF's ability to predict TFs for the genome of an environmental isolate. In the second evaluation step, PredicTF was used to predict TFs in a metagenome and 11 metatranscriptomes recovered from a community performing anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) in a bioreactor. PredicTF is open source pipeline available at https://github.com/mdsufz/PredicTF.
