Background: CoreGenes3.5 is a webserver that determines sets of core genes from viral and small bacterial genomes as an automated batch process. Previous versions of CoreGenes have been used to classify bacteriophage ...

We explore whether protein-RNA interfaces differ from non-interfaces in terms of their structural features and whether structural features vary according to the type of the bound RNA (e.g., mRNA, siRNA...etc), using a non-redundant dataset of 147 protein chains extracted from protein-RNA complexes in the protein data bank. Our analysis of surface roughness, solid angle and CX value of amino acid residues for each of the protein chains in the dataset shows that: The protein-RNA interface residues tend to be protruding compared to non-interface residues and tend to have higher surface roughness and exhibit moderately convex or concave solid angles. Furthermore, the protein chains in protein-RNA interfaces that contain Viral RNA and rRNA significantly differ from those that contain dsRNA, mRNA siRNA, snRNA, SRP RNA and tRNA with respect to their CX values. The results of this analysis sug gests the possibility of using such structural features to reliably identify protein-RNA interface residues when the structure of the protein is available but the structures of complexes formed by the protein with RNA are not.

A research on the development of parallel methods to eliminate piecemeal approach on building whole-genome networks and facilitate genome-scale network inference, are discussed. A parallel mutual information based method is developed, which can scale up to an arbitrary number of genes and gene expression measurements on sufficiently large parallel computers and clusters. A novel technique to carry out permutation testing for assessing the statistical significance of predicted gene-gene interactions is used to construct a whole genome network of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in 9 minutes on a 1024 core cluster. The paper also studied the construction of the whole genome network using mutual information, sample small subgraphs from the network, and refine these local networks through parallel Bayesian inference; and heuristic algorithms for large scale Bayesian inference.

RECOMB 2013 was successfully held in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China on April 7-10, 2013, hosted by the bioinformatics Division and Center for Synthetic and Systems biology, Tsinghua National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology (TNLIST). A total of about 500 professionals from both academia and industry from 29 countries and regions attended the conference and its RECOMB-Seq satellite workshop after the main conference.

P.R.E.S.S. is an R package developed to allow researchers to get access to and manipulate on a large set of statistical data on protein residue-level structural properties such as residue-level virtual bond lengths, virtual bond angles, and virtual torsion angles. A large set of high-resolution protein structures are downloaded and surveyed. Their residue-level structural properties are calculated and documented. The statistical distributions and correlations of these properties can be queried and displayed. Tools are also provided for modeling and analyzing a given structure in terms of its residue-level structural properties. In particular, new tools for computing residue-level statistical potentials and displaying residue-level Ramachandran-like plots are developed for structural analysis and refinement. P.R.E.S.S. will be released in R as an open source software package, with a user-friendly GUI, accessible and executable by a public user in any R environment.
