To test the performance of P2CS, a variety of
approaches were taken. P2CS data were compared to different analyses available
in the literature generated using other search methods. The accuracy of P2CS in
identifying TCS proteins was compared to several studies using manual curation
to detect TCSs. We used these studies as reference sets and calculated
sensitivity, specificity and precision to assess the efficiency of the P2CS
analysis
