Among membrane proteins, transmembrane \u03b2-barrels (TMBBs) are poorly represented in the database of protein structures (PDB) and difficult to identify with experimental approaches. They are, however, extremely important, playing key roles in several cell functions and bacterial pathogenicity. TMBBs are included in the lipid bilayer with a \u03b2-barrel structure and are presently found in the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. Recently, we developed two top-performing methods based on machine-learning approaches to tackle both the detection of TMBBs in sets of proteins and the prediction of their topology. Here, we present our BETAWARE program that includes both approaches and can run as a standalone program on a linux-based computer to easily address in-home massive protein annotation or filtering.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: \u00a0http:\/\/www.biocomp.unibo.it\/\u223csavojard\/betawarecl<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0piero.fariselli@unibo.it<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bts728","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,8]],"date-time":"2013-01-08T23:12:01Z","timestamp":1357686721000},"page":"504-505","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["BETAWARE: a machine-learning tool to detect and predict transmembrane beta-barrel proteins in prokaryotes"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Castrense","family":"Savojardo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Biocomputing Group, CIRI-Health Science and Technology\/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna and 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"1 Biocomputing Group, CIRI-Health Science and Technology\/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna and 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Piero","family":"Fariselli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Biocomputing Group, CIRI-Health Science and Technology\/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna and 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"},{"name":"1 Biocomputing Group, CIRI-Health Science and Technology\/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna and 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita","family":"Casadio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Biocomputing Group, CIRI-Health Science and Technology\/Department of Biology, University of Bologna, 40126 Bologna and 2Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Bologna, 40127 Bologna, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012810251266600_bts728-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"W400","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkh417","article-title":"PRED-TMBB: a web server for predicting the topology of beta-barrel outer membrane proteins","volume":"32","author":"Bagos","year":"2004","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"2023012810251266600_bts728-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2105-6-7","article-title":"Evaluation of methods for predicting the topology of beta-barrel outer membrane proteins and a consensus prediction method","volume":"6","author":"Bagos","year":"2005","journal-title":"BMC Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023012810251266600_bts728-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2566","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkh580","article-title":"Predicting transmembrane beta-barrels in proteomes","volume":"32","author":"Bigelow","year":"2004","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res."},{"key":"2023012810251266600_bts728-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1158","DOI":"10.1110\/ps.0223603","article-title":"Fishing new proteins in the twilight zone of genomes: the test case of outer membrane proteins in Escherichia coli K12, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and other Gram-negative bacteria","volume":"11","author":"Casadio","year":"2003","journal-title":"Protein Sci."},{"key":"2023012810251266600_bts728-B5","first-page":"4","article-title":"Grammatical-restrained hidden conditional random fields for bioinformatics applications","volume":"22","author":"Fariselli","year":"2009","journal-title":"Algorithms Mol.
