MISHIMA - a new method for high speed multiple alignment of nucleotide sequences of bacterial genome scale data

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Large nucleotide sequence datasets are becoming increasingly common objects of comparison. Complete bacterial genomes are reported almost everyday. This creates challenges for developing new multiple sequence alignment methods.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Three-Way Alignment Improves Multiple Sequence Alignment of Highly Diverged Sequences

Algorithms
The standard approach for constructing a phylogenetic tree from a set of sequences consists of two key stages. First, a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of the sequences is computed.

Heuristic for Solving the Multiple Alignment Sequence Problem

Revista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2011
In this paper we developed a new algorithm for solving the problem of multiple sequence alignment (AM S), which is a hybrid metaheuristic based on harmony search and simulated annealing.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Multiple sequence alignment accuracy and evolutionary distance estimation

BMC Bioinformatics, 2005
Background Sequence alignment is a common tool in bioinformatics and comparative genomics. It is generally assumed that multiple sequence alignment yields better results than pair wise sequence alignment, but this assumption has rarely been tested, and ...

Multiple sequence alignment for short sequences

CoRR, 2015
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) has been one of the most important problems in bioinformatics for more decades and it is still heavily examined by many mathematicians and biologists. However, mostly because of the practical motivation of this problem, the research on this topic is focused on aligning long sequences.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

HAlign-G: rapid and low-memory multiple-genome aligner for large-scale closely related genomes

Genome Biology
HAlign-G is a fast and memory-efficient tool for large-scale multiple genome alignment. Using BWT-FM-LIS with an optimized K-band algorithm and star alignment strategy, it supports intra-species (HAlign-G1) and cross-species (HAlign-G2) alignment ...
