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.

Circadian protein regulation in the green lineage I. A phospho-dawn anticipates light onset before proteins peak in daytime

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare transcriptome data under light-dark cycles (LD) to the algal proteome and phosphoproteome, assayed using shotgun mass-spectrometry.

Hyb4mC: a hybrid DNA2vec-based model for DNA N4-methylcytosine sites prediction

TL;DR: Hyb4mC as discussed by the authors adopts the DNA2vec method for sequence embedding, which captures more efficient and comprehensive information compared with the sequence-based feature method, and combines the attention mechanism with a text convolutional neural network for further feature learning.

Ozone-derived oxysterols impair lung macrophage phagocytosis via adduction of some phagocytosis receptors.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism for the suppression of macrophage phagocytosis following ozone exposure is suggested through the generation of oxysterols and the formation of Oxysterol-protein adducts onPhagocytic receptors.

Phosphotyrosine Substrate Sequence Motifs for Dual Specificity Phosphatases.

TL;DR: Analysis of peptide dephosphorylation by hierarchical clustering indicated that DUSPs could be organized by substrate sequence motifs, and peptide-specificities by phylogenetic relationships among the catalytic domains.

Deep mutational analysis reveals functional trade-offs in the sequences of EGFR autophosphorylation sites

TL;DR: The results show how EGFR-family phosphosites achieve a trade-off between minimizing off-pathway phosphorylation while maintaining the ability to recruit the diverse complement of effectors required for downstream pathway activation.

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.

Sequence logos: a new way to display consensus sequences

TL;DR: From these 'sequence logos', one can determine not only the consensus sequence but also the relative frequency of bases and the information content at every position in a site or sequence.
