Abstract

Carbohydrate Active enZymes (CAZymes) are pivotal in pathogen recognition,
signalling, structure and energy metabolism. CAZy is the most comprehensive
CAZyme database, cataloguing CAZymes into sequence-based CAZy families.
The CAZyme prediction tools dbCAN, CUPP and eCAMI annotate
CAZymes with CAZy families. However, these tools have not been independently
evaluated on a common high-quality dataset. Additionally, previous evaluations
did not evaluate the binary classification of CAZymes/non-CAZymes, and the
multilabel classification of CAZymes to multiple CAZy families.
