# Overview

Protein localization is an annotation of the subcellular compartments that proteins are found in. This task is a multilabel classification -- proteins can be found in more than one compartment.

This dataset is redistributed as part of mRNABench: https://github.com/morrislab/mRNABench

# Data Format

Description of data columns:
- `target`: Multihot labelling of cellular components that a protein appear in.  
  The label positions correspond to: `[Cytosol, Nucleoli, Microtubules, Vesicles, Centrosome, Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, Nucleoplasm, Nuclear bodies, Endoplasmic reticulum, Nuclear speckles, Plasma membrane]`
- `cds`: Binary track which reports position of first nucleotide in each codon in CDS.
- `splice`: Binary track which reports position of the 3' end of each exon, indicating splice sites.
