Background  Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are essential components of the innate immune system and can protect the host from various pathogenic bacteria. The marine environment is known to be one of the richest sources for AMPs. Effective usage of AMPs and their derivatives can greatly improve the immunity and breeding survival rate of aquatic products. It is highly desirable to develop computational tools for rapidly and accurately identifying AMPs and their functional types, for the purpose of helping design new and more effective antimicrobial agents.    Results  In this study, we made an attempt to develop an advanced machine learning based computational approach, MAMPs-Pred, for identification of AMPs and its function types. Initially, SVM-prot 188-D features were extracted that were subsequently used as input to a two-layer multi-label classifier. In specific, the first layer is to identify whether it is an AMP by applying RF classifier, and the second layer addresses the multi-type problem by identifying the activites or function types of AMPs by applying PS-RF and LC-RF classifiers. To benchmark the methods,the MAMPs-Pred method is also compared with existing best-performing methods in literature and has shown an improved identification accuracy.    Conclusions  The results reported in this study indicate that the MAMP-Pred method achieves high performance for identifying AMPs and its functional types.The proposed approach is believed to supplement the tools and techniques that have been developed in the past for predicting AMPs and their function types.
