parSMURF is a parallel machine learning tool for detecting pathogenic variants in genomic data, achieving state-of-the-art results with an 80x speed-up over sequential versions.

The paper reports results from the CAFA3 challenge, showing improved computational protein function prediction and new annotations for over 1000 genes through experimental screens in C. albicans, P. aureginosa, and Drosophila.
