AcaFinder: Genome Mining for Anti-CRISPR-Associated Genes
Anti-CRISPR (Acr) proteins are encoded by (pro)viruses to inhibit their host’s CRISPR-Cas systems. Genes encoding Acr and Aca (Acr associated) proteins often colocalize to form acr-aca operons.

Effect of surface grain boundary density on preosteoblast proliferation on titanium
Studies since 2004 have shown that the cytocompatibility of ultrafine grain (UG) commercial purity (CP) titanium exceeds that of coarse grain (CG) CP titanium (Ti) by 30% to 20-fold.

Genome Mining as New Challenge in Natural Products Discovery
Drug discovery is based on bioactivity screening of natural sources, traditionally represented by bacteria fungi and plants. Bioactive natural products and their secondary metabolites have represented the main source for new therapeutic agents, used as ...

Mining Pure, Strict Epistatic Interactions from High-Dimensional Datasets: Ameliorating the Curse of Dimensionality [PDF]
Background: The interaction between loci to affect phenotype is called epistasis. It is strict epistasis if no proper subset of the interacting loci exhibits a marginal effect.

Underexplored bacteria as reservoirs of novel antimicrobial lipopeptides
Natural products derived from microorganisms play a prominent role in drug discovery as potential anti-infective agents. Over the past few decades, lipopeptides produced by particularly Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces, Paenibacillus, and ...
