webPRANK: a phylogeny-aware multiple sequence aligner with interactive alignment browser

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Phylogeny-aware progressive alignment has been found to perform well in phylogenetic alignment benchmarks and to produce superior alignments for the inference of selection on codon sequences.

MAVID: Constrained ancestral alignment of multiple sequences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2003
We describe a new global multiple alignment program capable of aligning a large number of genomic regions. Our progressive alignment approach incorporates the following ideas: maximum-likelihood inference of ancestral sequences, automatic guide-tree construction, protein based anchoring of ab-initio gene predictions, and constraints derived from a ...

Global Network Alignment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Motivation: High-throughput methods for detecting molecular interactions have lead to a plethora of biological network data with much more yet to come, stimulating the development of techniques for biological network alignment.

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories predict survival in trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Alignment of protein-coding sequences with frameshift extension penalties [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We introduce an algorithm for the alignment of protein- coding sequences accounting for frameshifts. The main specificity of this algorithm as compared to previously published protein-coding sequence alignment methods is the introduction of a penalty cost for frameshift ex- tensions.

Vertical inhibition of p110α/AKT and N‐cadherin enhances treatment efficacy in PIK3CA‐aberrated ovarian cancer cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
PIK3CA amplification and PIK3CA mutation enhance ovarian tumorigenicity through an activation of AKT, which phosphorylates YAP at Ser127. This Ser127 phosphorylation leads to the retention of YAP in the cytoplasm and triggers RAC1 activity, promoting cell migration. Additionally, AKT activation increases expression of N‐cadherin, which further enhances

Evaluation of intrafraction couch shifts for proton treatment delivery in head‐and‐neck cancer patients: Toward optimal imaging frequency

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose Treatment planning for head‐and‐neck (H&N) cancer, in particular oropharynx, nasopharynx, and paranasal sinus cases, at our center requires noncoplanar proton beams due to the complexity of the anatomy and target location. Targeting accuracy for all beams is carefully evaluated by using image guidance before delivering proton beam ...

Efficient pairwise RNA structure prediction and alignment using sequence alignment constraints

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background We are interested in the problem of predicting secondary structure for small sets of homologous RNAs, by incorporating limited comparative sequence information into an RNA folding model.

Plasma‐activated media selectively induces apoptotic death via an orchestrated oxidative stress pathway in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
High‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most common and aggressive type of ovarian cancer with urgent need for new treatment strategies. This study evaluates plasma‐activated media (PAM) as a novel treatment for HGSOC, showing its ability to selectively induce oxidative stress and apoptosis in HGSOC cell lines, patient ascites cells and primary
