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 ...

Fractal MapReduce decomposition of sequence alignment
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2012 Background The dramatic fall in the cost of genomic sequencing, and the increasing convenience of distributed cloud computing resources, positions the MapReduce coding pattern as a cornerstone of scalable bioinformatics algorithm development.

Sequence Alignment Using Machine Learning-Based Needleman–Wunsch Algorithm
IEEE Access, 2021 Biological pairwise sequence alignment can be used as a method for arranging two biological sequence characters to identify regions of similarity. This operation has elicited considerable interest due to its significant influence on various critical ...

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.

Pangenomic genotyping with the marker array
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2023 We present a new method and software tool called rowbowt that applies a pangenome index to the problem of inferring genotypes from short-read sequencing data. The method uses a novel indexing structure called the marker array.

Significance of Gapped Sequence Alignments [PDF]
Journal of Computational Biology, 2008 Measurement of the statistical significance of extreme sequence alignment scores is key to many important applications, but it is difficult. To precisely approximate alignment score significance, we draw random samples directly from a well chosen, importance-sampling probability distribution.

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

OXBench: A benchmark for evaluation of protein multiple sequence alignment accuracy
BMC Bioinformatics, 2003 Background The alignment of two or more protein sequences provides a powerful guide in the prediction of the protein structure and in identifying key functional residues, however, the utility of any prediction is completely dependent on the accuracy of ...
