Abstract Co-conservation phylogenetic profiles is a well-established method for predicting functional relationships between proteins. Several publicly available databases use this method and additional clustering strategies to develop networks of protein interactions cluster co-conservation CCC . CCC has previously been limited to interactions within a single target species. We have extended CCC to develop protein interaction networks based on co-conservation between protein pairs across multiple species cross-species cluster co-conservation. Background The exponential increase in sequence information has widened the gap between the number of predicted and experimentally characterized proteins. At present about 400 microbial genomes are fully sequenced. The prediction of protein function from sequence is a .
