Journal ArticleDOI

Why are proteins marginally stable

TL;DR: It is found that the marginal stability of proteins is an inherent property of proteins due to the high dimensionality of the sequence space, without regard to protein function, and that marginal stability can result from neutral, non‐adaptive evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Genetic Susceptibility Loci for Colorectal Tumors in a Genome-Wide Meta-analysis

Ulrike Peters, +83 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: In a large genome-wide association study, polymorphisms close to nucleic acid binding protein 1 (which encodes a DNA-binding protein involved in DNA repair) with colorectal tumor risk and polymorphisms in laminin gamma 1, cyclin D2, and T-box 3 are associated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis of New Genome-wide Association Studies of Colorectal Cancer Risk

Ulrike Peters, +62 more
- 01 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The study suggests a complex nature of the contribution of common genetic variants to risk for colorectal cancer and selected the most statistically significant single nucleotide polymorphisms for replication using ten independent studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association study of colorectal cancer identifies six new susceptibility loci

Fredrick R. Schumacher, +103 more
TL;DR: Six new susceptibility loci reaching a genome-wide threshold of P<5.0E-08 are described, providing additional insight into the underlying biological mechanisms of colorectal cancer and demonstrating the scientific value of large consortia-based genetic epidemiology studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Why are proteins so robust to site mutations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a computational model with lattice proteins to demonstrate that protein robustness can result from population dynamics during the evolutionary process, and that sequence plasticity may be a characteristic of evolutionarily derived proteins and not necessarily a property of designed proteins.
