# Dataset Description
Out of **20,577** human proteins (from [UniProt human proteome](https://www.uniprot.org/proteomes/UP000005640)), sequences shorter than 20 amino acids or longer than 512 amino acids were removed, resulting in a set of **12,703** proteins. The uShuffle algorithm ([python pacakge](https://github.com/guma44/ushuffle)) was then used to shuffle these protein sequences while maintaining their singlet distribution.
Afterwards, h-CD-HIT algorithm ([web server](http://weizhong-lab.ucsd.edu/cdhit-web-server/cgi-bin/index.cgi)) was used with three subsequent filter stages at pairwise identity cutoffs of 0.9, 0.5 and 0.1, resulting in a total of **11,698** sequences.
