NOTE: The antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) used in ProBioPred was taken from Comprehensive Antibiotic Research Database (CARD v2.0.0) database and the Resistance Gene Identifier Software (RGI v4.0.2) utility was used with default parameters to predict the ARGs for input genome. We have used VFDB database for virulence factors.

ProBioPred scoring scheme:

Score for each category of probiotic genes is derived from percent identity of each hit and number of hits found in category (c) as per equation below.

$$Score_{(c)} = {\sum_{i=1}^n \bigl(P_{(i)}) + n}$$

where,
     Pi = Percent identity of ith hit in category (c)
     n = Number of total hits found in category (c)
