The four methods in the front of the table are four state-of-the-art predicting methods for identification of DNA-binding proteins proposed in the past and were demonstrated to have good performance. The results of the four existing methods and SVM-PSSM-DT were got by testing on benchmark dataset through jackknife validation.
