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.

Global Proteome Turnover Analyses of the Yeasts S. cerevisiae and S. pombe

TL;DR: Proteome-wide steady-state protein turnover rate measurements for the evolutionarily distant but ecologically similar yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and SchizosacCharomyces pombe, find that the half-life of most proteins is much longer than currently thought and determined to a large degree by protein synthesis and dilution due to cell division.
