Soft selective sweeps: Addressing new definitions, evaluating competing models, and interpreting empirical outliers

Plos.org 

by Parul Johri, Wolfgang Stephan, Jeffrey D. Jensen

The ability to accurately identify and quantify genetic signatures associated with soft selective sweeps based on patterns of nucleotide variation has remained controversial. We here provide counter viewpoints to recent publications in PLOS Genetics that have argued not only for the statistical identifiability of soft selective sweeps, but also for their pervasive evolutionary role in both Drosophila and HIV populations. We present evidence... Читать дальше...

The widespread nature of Pack-TYPE transposons reveals their importance for plant genome evolution

Plos.org 

by Jack S. Gisby, Marco Catoni

Pack-TYPE transposable elements (TEs) are a group of non-autonomous DNA transposons found in plants. These elements can efficiently capture and shuffle coding DNA across the host genome, accelerating the evolution of genes. Despite their relevance for plant genome plasticity, the detection and study of Pack-TYPE TEs are challenging due to the high similarity these elements have with genes. Here, we produced an automated annotation pipeline designed to study... Читать дальше...

FXS causing missense mutations disrupt FMRP granule formation, dynamics, and function

Plos.org 

by Emily L. Starke, Keelan Zius, Scott A. Barbee

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most prevalent cause of inherited mental deficiency and is the most common monogenetic cause of autism spectral disorder (ASD). Here, we demonstrate that disease-causing missense mutations in the conserved K homology (KH) RNA binding domains (RBDs) of FMRP cause defects in its ability to form RNA transport granules in neurons. Using molecular, genetic, and imaging approaches in the Drosophila FXS model system... Читать дальше...

Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks

Plos.org 

by Mathieu Desroches, John Rinzel, Serafim Rodrigues

Bursting is one of the fundamental rhythms that excitable cells can generate either in response to incoming stimuli or intrinsically. It has been a topic of intense research in computational biology for several decades. The classification of bursting oscillations in excitable systems has been the subject of active research since the early 1980s and is still ongoing. As a by-product, it establishes analytical and numerical foundations for... Читать дальше...

Inferring RNA-binding protein target preferences using adversarial domain adaptation

Plos.org 

by Ying Liu, Ruihui Li, Jiawei Luo, Zhaolei Zhang

Precise identification of target sites of RNA-binding proteins (RBP) is important to understand their biochemical and cellular functions. A large amount of experimental data is generated by in vivo and in vitro approaches. The binding preferences determined from these platforms share similar patterns but there are discernable differences between these datasets. Computational methods trained on one dataset do not always work well on another dataset. Читать дальше...

SiteMotif: A graph-based algorithm for deriving structural motifs in Protein Ligand binding sites

Plos.org 

by Santhosh Sankar, Nagasuma Chandra

Studying similarities in protein molecules has become a fundamental activity in much of biology and biomedical research, for which methods such as multiple sequence alignments are widely used. Most methods available for such comparisons cater to studying proteins which have clearly recognizable evolutionary relationships but not to proteins that recognize the same or similar ligands but do not share similarities in their sequence or structural folds. In many cases... Читать дальше...
