Identifying new genes and members of a protein family,and characterizing their structure and function is fundamental to obtaining a complete list of the components that constitute our genomes.One important area of research towards this goal,has been to develop more sensitive bioinformatics tools that identify distant relationships between sequence and/or structures.Once the relationship between two sequences or structures is established,one can then infer structural or functional information,develop hypotheses testable in the laboratory,and eventually annotate the function of the newly uncharacterized genes.
