DeepLoc

DeepLoc is a bioinformatics software tool that predicts the subcellular localization of eukaryotic proteins using deep neural networks. The software relies solely on sequence information and uses a recurrent neural network and an attention mechanism to identify important protein regions. DeepLoc was trained and tested on a protein dataset extracted from UniProt and achieved high accuracy (78% for 10 categories; 92% for membrane-bound or soluble), outperforming state-of-the-art algorithms that rely on homology information. DeepLoc is available as a web server, and example code and dataset are also available.
