LCSkPOA: enabling banded semi-global partial order alignments via efficient and accurate backbone generation through extended LCSk++

BMC Bioinformatics
Background Most multiple sequence alignment and string-graph alignment algorithms focus on global alignment, but many applications exist for semi-global and local string-graph alignment.

Identifying and seeing beyond multiple sequence alignment errors using intra-molecular protein covariation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: There is currently no way to verify the quality of a multiple sequence alignment that is independent of the assumptions used to build it. Sequence alignments are typically evaluated by a number of established criteria: sequence conservation ...

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Vacuolar transport and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sterol ester hydrolase Tgl1

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Tgl1, one of yeast sterol ester hydrolases, had been found on the lipid droplets where sterol esters are mainly stored. This study revealed that Tgl1 is transported into the vacuole depending on the ESCRT‐I–III complex, and that it exhibits intra‐vacuolar sterol ester hydrolase activity.

Linking GPS and travel diary data using sequence alignment in a study of children's independent mobility

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2011
Background Global positioning systems (GPS) are increasingly being used in health research to determine the location of study participants. Combining GPS data with data collected via travel/activity diaries allows researchers to assess where people ...

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 ...

Fine-tuning structural RNA alignments in the twilight zone

BMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score based on thermodynamics and covariance.
