Abstract:	Due to their complex history, plastids possess proteins encoded in the nuclear and plastid genome. Moreover, these proteins localize to various subplastid compartments. Since protein localization is associated with its function, prediction of subplastid localization is one of the most important steps in plastid protein annotation, providing insight into their potential function. Therefore, we create a novel manually curated data set of plastid proteins and build an ensemble model for prediction of protein subplastid localization. Moreover, we discuss problems associated with the task, e. g. data set sizes and homology reduction. PlastoGram classifies proteins as nuclear- or plastid-encoded and predicts their localization considering: envelope, stroma, thylakoid membrane or thylakoid lumen; for the latter, the import pathway is also predicted. We also provide an additional function to differentiate nuclear-encoded inner and outer membrane proteins. PlastoGram is available as a web server at and as an R package at . The code used for described analyses is available at .
