Background: Proteins that evolve from a common ancestor can change functionality over time, and it is important to be able identify residues that cause this change. In this paper ...
tmRNA (also known as 10Sa RNA) is so-named for its dual tRNA-like and mRNA-like nature. It is employed in a remarkable trans-translation process to add a Cterminal peptide tag to ...
Background: Jumping alignments have recently been proposed as a strategy to search a given multiple sequence alignment A against a database. Instead of comparing a database sequen...
