Proteins are the molecular machines of life with numerous applications in energy, health, and sustainability. However, engineering proteins with desired functions for practical applications remains slow, expensive, and specialist-dependent. Here we r...
Protein ubiquitination is a critical post-translational modification (PTM) involved in diverse biological processes and plays a pivotal role in regulating physiological mechanisms and disease states. Despite various efforts to develop ubiquitination ...

Trichomes are unicellular or multicellular hair-like appendages developed on the aerial plant epidermis of most plant species that act as a protective barrier against natural hazards. For this reason, evaluating the density of trichomes is a valuable...
BACKGROUND: Proteins are the workforce of the cell and their phosphorylation status tailors specific responses efficiently. One of the main challenges of phosphoproteomic approaches is to deconvolute biological processes that specifically respond to ...

Meiotic crossovers facilitate chromosome segregation and create new combinations of alleles in gametes. Crossover frequency varies along chromosomes and crossover interference limits the coincidence of closely spaced crossovers. Crossovers can be mea...
Sequence based DNA-binding protein (DBP) prediction is a widely studied biological problem. Sliding windows on position specific substitution matrices (PSSMs) rows predict DNA-binding residues well on known DBPs but the same models cannot be applied ...
Transposable elements (TEs) are repetitive nucleotide sequences that make up a large portion of eukaryotic genomes. They can move and duplicate within a genome, increasing genome size and contributing to genetic diversity within and across species. A...
BACKGROUND: Gene Ontology (GO) has been used widely to study functional relationships between genes. The current semantic similarity measures rely only on GO annotations and GO structure. This limits the power of GO-based similarity because of the li...
Understanding how plants adapt their physiology to overcome severe and often multifactorial stress conditions in nature is vital in light of the climate crisis. This remains a challenge given the complex nature of the underlying molecular mechanisms....
