Landscapes of DNA Mechanics and Genomes

Thomas Antonin Zwahlen

The local physical properties - such as shape and flexibility - of the DNA double-helix is today widely believed to be influenced by nucleic acid sequence in a non-trivial way. Furthermore, there is strong evidence that these properties play a role in many ...

Generative power of a protein language model trained on multiple sequence alignments

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Damiano Sgarbossa, Umberto Lupo

Computational models starting from large ensembles of evolutionarily related protein sequences capture a representation of protein families and learn constraints associated to protein structure and function. They thus open the possibility for generating no ...

Electronic and structural dynamics in DNA single strands

Benjamin Bauer

The absorption, conversion and transport of electronic energy in molecular aggregates is at the heart of many important natural and artificial photochemical systems, including organic solar cell materials, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes and DNA ...

An Interactive Gameplay to Crowdsource Multiple Sequence Alignment of Genome Sequences: Genenigma

Comparative genomics is a field of research that compares genomes of different organisms to identify common patterns. It is a powerful method used to identify the genetic diseases that cause mutations. Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is an intermediate s ...

Toward a Dynamic Threshold for Quality-Score Distortion in Reference-Based Alignment

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Ana Angelica Hernandez Lopez

The intrinsic high entropy metadata, known as quality scores, are largely the cause of the substantial size of sequence data files. Yet, there is no consensus on a viable reduction of the resolution of the quality score scale, arguably because of collatera ...

We introduce a sequence-dependent coarse-grain model of double-stranded DNA with an explicit description of both the bases and the phosphate groups as interacting rigid-bodies. The model parameters are trained on extensive, state-of-the-art large scale mol ...

EPFL2019

Amongst the substances found in any living organism one of the most central in the workings of each living cell is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). For that reason it has been the subject of research in many of its aspects. These range from DNA sequencing to a ...

Analyzing ion distributions around DNA: sequence-dependence of potassium ion distributions from microsecond molecular dynamics

John Maddocks, Marco Pasi

Microsecond molecular dynamics simulations of B-DNA oligomers carried out in an aqueous environment with a physiological salt concentration enable us to perform a detailed analysis of how potassium ions interact with the double helix. The oligomers studied ...

Remarkably Divergent Regions Punctuate the Genome Assembly of the Caenorhabditis elegans Hawaiian Strain CB4856

Tobias Johannes Schmid, Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

The Hawaiian strain (CB4856) of Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most divergent from the canonical laboratory strain N2 and has been widely used in developmental, population, and evolutionary studies. To enhance the utility of the strain, we have gener ...
