An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

Efficient implied alignment

BMC Bioinformatics, 2020
Background Given a binary tree T $\mathcal {T}$ of n leaves, each leaf labeled by a string of length at most k, and a binary string alignment function ⊗, an implied alignment can be generated to describe the alignment of a dynamic homology for T ...

Multiple alignment by sequence annealing [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2007
AbstractMotivation: We introduce a novel approach to multiple alignment that is based on an algorithm for rapidly checking whether single matches are consistent with a partial multiple alignment. This leads to a sequence annealing algorithm, which is an incremental method for building multiple sequence alignments one match at a time.

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

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 ...

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.

Multiple sequence alignments in linguistics [PDF]

Proceedings of the EACL 2009 Workshop on Language Technology and Resources for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Education - LaTeCH-SHELT&R '09, 2009
In this study we apply and evaluate an iterative pairwise alignment program for producing multiple sequence alignments, ALPHAMALIG (Alonso et al., 2004), using as material the phonetic transcriptions of words used in Bulgarian dialectological research. To evaluate the quality of the multiple alignment, we propose two new methods based on comparing each

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

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 ...
