  2. 1. Supporting Software Architecture Evolution

    Author : Mikael Svahnberg; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Software Architecture; Software Evolution; Software Engineering Decision Support;

    Abstract : Today it is more a rule than an exception that software systems have a lifecycle of more than several years. Hence, software evolution is inevitable. During the life span of a software system the domain in which the system is working evolves and changes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolution of cellular complexity and other remarkable features in Gemmataceae : Complex bacterial lineages defy prokaryotic trends

    Author : Mayank Mahajan; Siv G. E. Andersson; James O. McInerney; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular evolution; Planctomycetes; Gemmataceae; functional organization; signalling; protein interaction; peptidoglycan; membranes; cell division; radiation tolerance; Pfam; SCOP; comparative genomics; protein architecture; domain shuffling and orthologous clustering; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Bacteria of the family Gemmataceae belong the phylum Planctomycetes and are remarkable because of their complex cellular architectures, previously considered to be traits exclusive to eukaryotes. This thesis provides clues to the atypical cell envelope, the enhanced radiotolerance and the amazing cellular complexity of these bacteria. READ MORE

  5. 3. Orthology and protein domain architecture evolution

    Author : Volker Hollich; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A major factor behind protein evolution is the ability of proteins to evolve new domain architectures that encode new functions. Protein domains are widely considered to constitute the "atoms" of protein chains, acting as building blocks of proteins as well as evolutionary units. READ MORE

  6. 4. The relationship between orthology, protein domain architecture and protein function

    Author : Kristoffer Forslund; Erik Sonnhammer; Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto; Sarah Teichmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homology; orthology; paralogy; gene duplications; protein function prediction; low-complexity regions; protein domains; domain architecture evolution; introns; intron position conservation; orthology conjecture; domain grammar hypothesis; biokemi; inriktning teoretisk kemi; Biochemistry with Emphasis on Theoretical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Lacking experimental data, protein function is often predicted from evolutionary and protein structure theory. Under the 'domain grammar' hypothesis the function of a protein follows from the domains it encodes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bioinformatics, evolution and revolution in our understanding of toxin-antitoxin systems

    Author : Chayan Kumar Saha; Gemma C. Atkinson; Victoria Shingler; Gipsi Lima Mendez; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioinformatics; Alarmones; Evolution; Gene neighbourhood; Toxin; Antitoxin; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Bacteria experience a wide range of natural challenges during their life cycles, to which they must respond and adapt to live. Under stressed conditions such as amino acid starvation, bacteria slow down their growth mechanism by producing small alarmone nucleotides guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) and tetraphosphate (ppGpp), collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp. READ MORE
