Phylogenetic profiling is a well established method for predicting functional relations and physical interactions between proteins. We present a new method for finding such relations based on phylogenetic profiling of conserved domains rather than proteins, avoiding computationally expensive all versus all sequence comparisons among genomes. The resulting domain interaction map (DIMA) can be explored directly or mapped to a genome of interest. We demonstrate that the performance of DIMA is comparable to that of classical phylogenetic profiling and its predictions often yield information that cannot be detected by profiling of entire protein chains. We provide a list of novel domain associations predicted by our method. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
