  1. Comparison of the accuracy of SLEP, PSORTb [31, 32], PHOBIUS [33–35], PRED-LIPO [36] and Prof-TMB [37, 38] on our dataset. For Prof-TMB, we only considered as positive proteins for which at least 14 transmembrane segments were predicted as this choice substantially increases the accuracy of the method.
