Prediction of protein essentiality by the support vector machine with statistical tests.

Essential proteins include the minimum required set of proteins to support cell life. Identifying essential proteins is important for understanding the cellular processes of an organism. However, identifying essential proteins experimentally is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
