Viral Protein Functions Teased out of Structural Comparison
Based on almost 68,000 predicted structures for viral proteins, researchers gained insights into their evolutionary relationships and function.
Radiation Response Score Developed With Mouse Genetic Data
Researchers explored variable immune responses in radiation-treated medulloblastoma patients with genetic analyses of short- and long-term immune responses in mouse models.
Metagenomic Microbiome Analysis Expands Known Phylogenetic Diversity of Earth's Bacteria, Archaea
This microbial catalog can help in understanding secondary-metabolite biosynthetic potential and resolving thousands of host linkages to uncultivated viruses.
Genome-Wide Mutant Screen in Bacteria Helps Annotate Thousands of Genes With Unknown Function
The researchers proposed specific functions for transporters, enzymes, and uncharacterized protein families and identified several potential DNA repair proteins.
NIH Awards Gene Ontology Consortium $2.7M to Improve Knowledgebase
The funding will be used to develop new software and data structures to enable researchers to use the GO data for network-based analysis.
