p-scldata 2025.6a2

A dataset (SCL2205) for subcellular localisation prediction modelling

SCL2205: Subcellular Localisation Dataset

An installable dataset package for subcellular localisation prediction modelling. It is suitable for clustering and classification machine learning, and contains dataset tracks for the train-eval-test and cross-validation-test (k = 5) model development approaches. Preprocessing is already done, including homology reduction within and across corresponding splits.

Interface: Python package and CLI

Description: 13-class subcellular localisation data (scldata)

Structure: unarchived and decompressed

scldata
└── data
    ├── entries.json # contains the UniProtKB unique "entry" identifier index
    ├── labels.json # contains the mined UniProtKB  "cellular component" location bi-directional index: 13 locations; 9 single and 4 multi
    ├── scl2205.csv # contains the full dataset in comma-separated-values (.csv) format
    └── splits.json # contains the partitioning of the full dataset as index lists of records constituting each partition

Components:

1. entries.json: key=value pairs; key is integer index, value is UniProtKB unique identifier.
2. labels.json: nested key=value pairs; key is integer index, value is subcellular location for the index_to_label key-index, and vice versa for the label_to_index key-index.
3. scl2205.csv:
   • Column 0: Table index; name, entry
   • Column 1: Protein sequence (X variable); name, seq
   • Column 2: Subcellular location (Y variable); name scl
4. splits.json
   • Abbreviations
     • cv: cross-validation (the 5-fold cross-validation dataset)
     • fk: fold k, k ranges from zero to five
     • trn: training split
     • tst:
       • in cv is similar to the evl split
       • at the top level, it is the heldout validation set
     • evl: evaluation split (for monitoring training)
     • [<int index>, ...]: list of integer indices representing partition members
5. Classes:
   1. Cytoplasm (CYT)
   2. Plastid (PLA)
   3. Secreted (SEC)
   4. Mitochondrion (MIT)
   5. Membrane (MEM)
   6. Peroxisome (PER)
   7. Nucleus (NUC)
   8. Cell projection (CEP)
   9. ER (ER)
   10. Cytoplasm;Nucleus (CYT;NUC)
   11. Centrosome;Cytoplasm;Cytoskeleton;Microtubule organizing center (CEN;CYT;CYTS;MTOC)
   12. Cytoplasm;Membrane (CYT;MEM)
   13. Cytoplasm;Cytoskeleton (CYT;CYTS)

Notes:

1. No missing values

Code/software

An open-source Python package for the data, p-scldata, is available on the official Python Package Index (PyPI). Upon installation, the dataset is automatically downloaded, and users can preview the data or load specific partitions programmatically (in the command line or as an import). The package is under active development, with additional features planned for future releases.
