"assign functions" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It means to allocate or designate specific tasks or responsibilities to someone or something. Example: The manager will assign functions to each team member based on their skills and expertise.
Predicted gene models were used to assign functions, EC numbers and map GO terms using the RAPYD functional prediction pipeline.
As a most relevant example of practical interest, knowledge about a module facilitates to assign functions to not yet annotated genes modularly associated with fully annotated functional "collaborators".
In this paper, we have shown that the CSIDOP method can not only provide additional functions to the incomplete GO annotations, but also assign functions for 181 human proteins that currently do not have GO functional terms.
KEGG is often used to tentatively assign functions and other properties to genes.
In this report, we tried to systematically assign functions to all predicted rice genes with FSTs.
Chemical probes may help assign functions to individual members of an important family of epigenetic regulator proteins.
To systematically assign functions to 29,624 rice FST genes, we used the diverse overview tools installed in MapMan.
The aims of proteomics are to identify and quantify proteins present in a cell, and assign functions to them within the context of dynamic biological systems.
Second, an algorithm is needed to assign functions.
Such conditional knockdown mutants helped assign functions to essential genes whose biological role was previously unknown.
Overall, we could assign functions for 618 H. sapiens proteins from PPIs with common domain patterns in the lookup table.
