Capturing alternative secondary structures of RNA by decomposition of base-pairing probabilities.

TL;DR: A new computational method to detect essential alternative secondary structures from RNA sequences by decomposing the base-pairing probability matrix is proposed, and it is shown thatAlternative secondary structures are captured by decompose base-paring probabilities over Hamming distance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Shape-based alignment of genomic landscapes in multi-scale resolution

TL;DR: By applying this method to over 20 genomic landscapes in human and mouse, it is found that DNA replication timing and the density of Alu insertions are highly correlated genome-wide in both species, even though the Alu elements have amplified independently in the two genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary design of multiple genes encoding the same protein.

TL;DR: This work proposes a method for designing multiple protein‐coding sequences (CDSs) that are unlikely to induce homologous recombination, while encoding the same protein, and provides insight into the trade‐off between nucleotide differences among gene copies and codon usage frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

BESPA: Software Tools for Three-Dimensional Structure Reconstruction from Single Particle Images of Proteins

TL;DR: The proposed system allows to examine structural changes and molecular complex of proteins at work, which will become a great advantage for the next generation in structural biology after static structures of proteins are all determined.
