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 ...

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Current Trends and Ongoing Progress in the Computational Alignment of Biological Sequences
IEEE Access, 2019 The computational techniques for nucleic acid and protein sequence comparison reduce the extensive burden of molecular biologists. The sequence alignment is one of the main research areas in bioinformatics, and comparative genomics and proteomics lead us

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

An Optimized System for Multiple Sequence Alignment
2009 International Conference on Reconfigurable Computing and FPGAs, 2009 Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is one of the essential operations for identifying functional and structural relations among proteins. The execution of an MSA algorithm requires high-performance platforms. This paper presents a hardware system that speeds up the popular MSA software ClustalW.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
