To study the contamination of microorganisms in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, clinical diagnosis, or bacterial taxonomy, accurate identification of species is a key starting point of ...

Alternative splicing (AS) is a major source of transcriptome diversity in plants, but short-read RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has limited power for resolving full-length transcripts and complex AS ...

As human activities increasingly fragment once-continuous habitats, it becomes ever more critical to understand how these changes impact diversity. Negative frequency-dependent (NFD) selection, a key ...

This package contains Python bindings for parasail. Parasail is a SIMD C (C99) library containing implementations of the Smith-Waterman (local), Needleman-Wunsch (global), and semi-global pairwise ...

The LocARNA package provides several tools for the structural analysis of RNA. LocARNA's main functionality is to align a set of a priori unaligned RNAs sequences and at the same time predict their ...

This important study addresses the problem of detecting weak similarity between protein sequences, a procedure commonly used to infer homology or assign putative functions to uncharacterized proteins.

The mTORC1 signaling pathway senses nutrient signals and controls cell growth partly by regulating mRNA translation. 5′ TOP motifs are defining features of mTORC1-regulated mRNAs, but their prevalence ...
