PINGU: PredIction of eNzyme catalytic residues usinG seqUence information.
Identification of catalytic residues can help unveil interesting attributes of enzyme function for various therapeutic and industrial applications.Based on their biochemical roles, the number of catalytic residues and sequence lengths of enzymes vary.This article describes a prediction approach (PINGU) for such a scenario.It uses models trained usi
Transcription-induced formation of extrachromosomal DNA during yeast ageing.
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) facilitates adaptive evolution by allowing rapid and extensive gene copy number variation and is implicated in the pathology of cancer and ageing.Here, we demonstrate that yeast aged under environmental copper accumulate high levels of eccDNA containing the copper-resistance gene CUP1.Transcription of the tand
Examination of Sarcocystis spp. of giant snakes from Australia and Southeast Asia confirms presence of a known pathogen - Sarcocystis nesbitti.
We examined Sarcocystis spp.in giant snakes from the Indo-Australian Archipelago and Australia using a combination of morphological (size of sporocyst) and molecular analyses.We amplified by PCR nuclear 18S rDNA from single sporocysts in order to detect mixed infections and unequivocally assign the retrieved sequences to waterbased-lube the corresp
