pLogo: a probabilistic approach to visualizing sequence motifs

TLDR
The pLogo is described, a motif visualization in which residue heights are scaled relative to their statistical significance, in which real-time conditional probability calculations and visualizations are supported.
Abstract
Methods for visualizing protein or nucleic acid motifs have traditionally relied upon residue frequencies to graphically scale character heights. We describe the pLogo, a motif visualization in which residue heights are scaled relative to their statistical significance. A pLogo generation tool is publicly available at http://plogo.uconn.edu/ and supports real-time conditional probability calculations and visualizations.

iProt-Sub: a comprehensive package for accurately mapping and predicting protease-specific substrates and cleavage sites

TL;DR: iProt-Sub will be a powerful tool for proteome-wide prediction of protease-specific substrates and their cleavage sites, and will facilitate hypothesis-driven functional interrogation of prote enzyme-specific substrate cleavage and proteolytic events.

Proteome-Wide Identification of SUMO2 Modification Sites

TL;DR: A novel method that enabled proteome-wide identification of sumoylated lysines that involves the expression of polyhistidine–tagged SUMO2 with Thr90 mutated to Lys and developed a method to discover the exact sites to which SUMOs conjugate.

A Quantitative Tissue-Specific Landscape of Protein Redox Regulation during Aging

TL;DR: Oximouse is developed, a comprehensive and quantitative mapping of the mouse cysteine redox proteome in vivo that comprehensively identifies redox-modified disease networks that remodel in aged mice, establishing a systemic molecular basis for the long-standing proposed links between redox dysregulation and tissue aging.

WebLogo: A Sequence Logo Generator

TL;DR: WebLogo generates sequence logos, graphical representations of the patterns within a multiple sequence alignment that provide a richer and more precise description of sequence similarity than consensus sequences and can rapidly reveal significant features of the alignment otherwise difficult to perceive.
