  2. 1. Mapping and annotating the mammalian body-wide protein-coding gene expression

    Author : Max Karlsson; Mathias Uhlén; Linn Fagerberg; Julio Saez-Rodriguez; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein; protein-coding; genes; annotation; atlas; scRNA-Seq; RNA-Seq; transcriptomics; proteomics; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

    Abstract : A central aim of fundamental research is to create conditions necessary for fueling further research and innovation. Our understanding of basic biology is central for future developments of tools for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural Information and Hidden Markov Models for Biological Sequence Analysis

    Author : Jeanette Tångrot; Bo Kågström; Uwe H. Sauer; Erik Sonnhammer; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HMM; structure alignment; protein structure; secondary structure; remote homologue; annotation; domain family; protein family; protein superfamily; protein fold recognition; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

    Abstract : Bioinformatics is a fast-developing field, which makes use of computational methods to analyse and structure biological data. An important branch of bioinformatics is structure and function prediction of proteins, which is often based on finding relationships to already characterized proteins. READ MORE

  5. 3. From protein sequence to structural instability and disease

    Author : Lixiao Wang; Uwe Sauer; Sven Hovmöller; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : protein domain; remote homologue; intrinsically disorder unstructured proteins; protein function; point mutation; protein family protein stability; HMMs; CRFs; SVMs;

    Abstract : A great challenge in bioinformatics is to accurately predict protein structure and function from its amino acid sequence, including annotation of protein domains, identification of protein disordered regions and detecting protein stability changes resulting from amino acid mutations. The combination of bioinformatics, genomics and proteomics becomes essential for the investigation of biological, cellular and molecular aspects of disease, and therefore can greatly contribute to the understanding of protein structures and facilitating drug discovery.

  6. 4. Genome-wide structural and functional protein characterization by ab initio protein structure prediction

    Author : Lars Malmström; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Biomedical sciences; Saccharymyces cerevisiae; Ab initio protein structure prediction; Protein annotation;

    Abstract : Very little is known about a considerable part of all proteins and it is time consuming and expensive to study each individual protein to determine its function, structure and cellular role. Proteins retain structural, functional and sequential characteristics from ancestral proteins and hence two proteins that share a common ancestor, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. 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
