Hypothetical Gene Cluster Medoids with BLASTp and InterProScan Results

Nikhil Bhalla published a dataset on 2026-05-18 summarizing BLASTp and InterProScan analyses for representative medoids from a sub-stratified gene cluster. The dataset is a 20.1 KB XLSX file containing alignment metrics like percent identity, alignment length, mismatches, and E-values for top hits.

Use Cases

• Assess sequence similarity of hypothetical proteins based on BLASTp alignment metrics
• Characterize gene clusters based on functional domain predictions from InterProScan
• Filter candidate sequences for further study based on E-value and bit score thresholds
• Validate or compare annotation pipelines using a set of pre-analyzed protein medoids

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and sharing
• Analysis includes results from two standard bioinformatics tools: BLASTp and InterProScan
• File size is 20.1 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
