  2. 1. Intrinsic disorder and tandem repeats - match made in evolution : Computational studies of molecular evolution

    Author : Oxana Lundström; Arne Elofsson; Liberles-Siltberg Jessica; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein evolution; intrinsically disordered proteins IDPs ; tandem repeats; short tandem repeats STRs ; genetic variation; orphan proteins; GC content; human STR variation; colorectal cancer; gene expression; biokemi med inriktning mot bioinformatik; Biochemistry towards Bioinformatics;

    Abstract : Proteins are both the building blocks and workers of the cell, carrying out most of the important functions. For a long time, their structure has been regarded as the primary factor for their function, but intrinsically disordered proteins demonstrate an alternative to this paradigm. READ MORE

  4. 2. Variation in length of proteins by repeats and disorder regions

    Author : Rauan Sagit; Arne Elofsson; Andrey Kajava; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein length; repeats; domain repeats; protein evolution; duplication; tandem duplication; intrinsic disorder; intrinsically disordered; variation in length; insertion; deletion; recombination; expansion; contraction; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Protein-coding genes evolve together with their genome and acquire changes, some of which affect the length of their protein products. This explains why equivalent proteins from different species can exhibit length differences. READ MORE

  5. 3. Software Tools and Algorithms for Shotgun Sequence Assembly

    Author : Martti T. Tammi; Bruce Roe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Shotgun sequencing; multiple alignment; fragment assembly; repeats; sequencing error; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : During the last ten years, a genomics revolution has changed the ways biological research is carried out. The draft sequence of the human genome is available, as well as the sequence of 84 other completed genomes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Creation of new proteins - domain rearrangements and tandem duplications

    Author : Åsa Björklund; Arne Elofsson; Sarah Teichmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Proteins are modular entities with domains as their building blocks. The domains are recurrent protein fragments with a distinct structure, function and evolutionary history. During evolution, proteins with new functions have been invented through rearrangements as well as differentiation of domains. READ MORE
