Peptide-based functional annotation of carbohydrate-active enzymes by conserved unique peptide patterns (CUPP).

It was possible to construct an automated system for clustering proteins within families and use the resulting CUPP groups to directly build peptide-based models for genome annotation. The CUPP runtime, F-score, sensitivity, and precisions of family and subfamily annotations match or represent an improvement compared to state-of-the-art tools. The speed of the CUPP annotation is similar to the rapid DIAMOND annotation tool. CUPP facilitates automated annotation of full genome assemblies to any CAZy family.
