GOlien tool: fast and scalable GO term annotation of proteins using a Shannon-entropy k-mer model

Automated protein function annotation remains challenging as sequence databases outpace curated labels and homology-based transfer fails for proteins lacking close relatives. We present GOlien, a scalable, composition-based method that annotates protein sequences using a Shannon-entropy k-mer model. Built from the CAFA3-based training split and evaluated on the held-out validation split,…
