When the state of the whole reaction network can be inferred by just measuring the dynamics of a limited set of nodes the system is said to be fully observable. However, as the number of all possible combinations of measured variables and time deriva...
The DNA replication influences the inheritance of genetic information in the DNA life cycle. As the distribution of replication origins (ORIs) is the major determinant to precisely regulate the replication process, the correct identification of ORIs ...
In contrast to the well characterized mitotic machinery in eukaryotes it seems as if there is no universal mechanism organizing chromosome segregation in all bacteria. Apparently, some bacteria even use combinations of different segregation mechanism...
DNA-binding proteins play a vital role in biological activity including DNA replication, DNA packing, and DNA reparation. DNA-binding proteins can be classified into single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) or double-stranded DNA-binding proteins ...
Bioactive peptides are key molecules in health and medicine. Deep learning holds a big promise for the discovery and design of bioactive peptides. Yet, suitable experimental approaches are required to validate candidates in high throughput and at low...
MOTIVATION: The origins of replication sites (ORIs) are precise regions inside the DNA sequence where the replication process begins. These locations are critical for preserving the genome's integrity during cell division and guaranteeing the faithfu...
Epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin requires transfer of parental H3-H4 tetramers to both daughter duplexes during replication. Three recent papers exploit yeast genetics coupled to inheritance assays and AlphaFold2-multimer predictions coupled...
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is organised both spatially and temporally, as evidenced by the stage-specific spatial distribution of replication foci in the nucleus. Despite the genetic association of aberrant DNA replication with numerous hum...
Genomic heterogeneity has largely been overlooked in single-cell replication timing (scRT) studies. Here, we develop MnM, an efficient machine learning-based tool that allows disentangling scRT profiles from heterogenous samples. We use single-cell c...
