Journal ArticleDOI
PIPE: a protein-protein interaction prediction engine based on the re-occurring short polypeptide sequences between known interacting protein pairs
Sylvain Pitre,Frank Dehne,Albert Chan,James J. Cheetham,Alex Duong,Andrew Emili,Marinella Gebbia,Jack Greenblatt,Matthew Jessulat,Nevan J. Krogan,Xuemei Luo,Ashkan Golshani +11 more
TL;DR: A novel Protein-Protein Interaction Prediction Engine capable of predicting protein-protein interactions for any target pair of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins from their primary structure and without the need for any additional information or predictions about the proteins is explained.
Journal Article
The cluster editing problem : Implementations and experiments
TL;DR: This paper presents the first practical implementation of a FPT based method for cluster editing, using the refined branching method in [6,7], and compares its implementation with the straightforward greedy method and a solution based on linear programming.
Book ChapterDOI
Computational methods for predicting protein-protein interactions
TL;DR: This chapter will focus on computational prediction of PPI, reviewing a number of techniques including PIPE, developed in the own laboratory and a discussion of the limitations of both experimental and computational methods of determining PPIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational approaches toward the design of pools for the in vitro selection of complex aptamers
Xuemei Luo,Maureen McKeague,Sylvain Pitre,Michel Dumontier,James R. Green,Ashkan Golshani,Maria C. DeRosa,Frank Dehne +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that using the computationally designed DNA pool greatly improves access to highly complex sequence structures for SELEX experiments (without losing the ability to select for common one-way and two-way junction sequences).
Journal ArticleDOI
Short Co-occurring Polypeptide Regions Can Predict Global Protein Interaction Maps
Sylvain Pitre,Mohsen Hooshyar,Andrew Schoenrock,Bahram Samanfar,Matthew Jessulat,James R. Green,Frank Dehne,Ashkan Golshani +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the presence of co-occurring short polypeptide sequences between interacting protein partners appears to be conserved across different organisms and that global PPIs can be predicted from previously reported PPIs within the same or a different organism using protein primary sequences.
