Significant progress has been made in the past few years on the computational identification of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that encode ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). This is done by identifying both...
Growing evidence illustrates the shortcomings on the current understanding of the full complexity of the proteome. Previously overlooked small open reading frames (sORFs) and their encoded microproteins have filled important gaps, exerting their func...
Proteins carry out the vast majority of functions in all biological domains, but for technological reasons their large-scale investigation has lagged behind the study of genomes. Since the first essentially complete eukaryotic proteome was reported, ...
Dimensionality reduction is widely used in the visualization, compression, exploration and classification of data. Yet a generally applicable solution remains unavailable. Here, we report an accurate and broadly applicable data-driven algorithm for d...
Membraneless organelles are liquid condensates, which form through liquid-liquid phase separation. Recent advances show that phase separation is essential for cellular homeostasis by regulating basic cellular processes, including transcription and si...
Proteins are responsible for most physiological processes, and their abundance provides crucial information for systems biology research. However, absolute protein quantification, as determined by mass spectrometry, still has limitations in capturing...
The incorporation of unnatural amino acids (Uaas) has provided an avenue for novel chemistries to be explored in biological systems. However, the successful application of Uaas is often hampered by site-specific impacts on protein yield and solubilit...
Protein-protein interactions play critical roles in biology, but the structures of many eukaryotic protein complexes are unknown, and there are likely many interactions not yet identified. We take advantage of advances in proteome-wide amino acid coe...
Identifying the molecular systems and proteins that modify the progression of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) is central to drug target selection. However, discordance between mRNA and protein abundance, and the scarcity of proteomic...
Controlling translational elongation is essential for efficient protein synthesis. Ribosome profiling has revealed that the speed of ribosome movement is correlated with translational efficiency in the translational elongation ramp. In this work, we ...
