We find an example of convergence within the ubiquitin fold N-terminal domain of silencing defective 2 (Ubi-N-Sde2) family (Fig.1B), which was expanded in six viviparous lineages relative to closely related oviparous taxa. Expansion was observed in ray-finned fishes (Heteroclinus perspicillat...
the foci of such investigations have varied to a large extent from the analysis of spatially heterogeneous base compositions pioneered by works such as [1] and [2], to a kaleidoscope of methods for detecting anomalous evolutionary patterns caused e...
We develop high-throughput systems for the prediction of 4-class distance maps, which exploit similarity to proteins of known structure, where available, in the form of simple structural frequency profiles from sets of PDB templates. These predictors are designed so that binary contact maps (at th...
A genetic model about quantitative trait loci (QTL) provides a basis to interpret the genetic basis of quantitative traits in a study population, such as additive, dominance and epistatic effects of QTL and the partition of genetic variance. The standard
