EasyBack Performace Analysis on NP_438418.1, RPL36A and RPS6KA1. Left column: EasyBack prediction performance (percentage of amino acids correctly decoded). Right column: forward probability. The quality of prediction using BLAST All-Species training sets is higher than both Random Species-Specific (sequences belonging to the same organism) and BLAST Invertebrates for RPL36A and RPS6KA1 and BLAST Eukaryotes for NP_438418.1 (distant organisms). The forward probability can be used to estimate the best training set size. In almost all cases a high forward probability corresponds to a high quality backtranslation. Input proteins are: NP_438418.1 (from Haemophilus influenzae species), RPL36A (ribosomal protein L36a), RPS6KA1 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90 kDa).
