Biomolecular NMR Assignments: The 1H, 15N and 13C resonance assignments of the low-complexity domain from the oncogenic fusion protein EWS-FLI1 (Libich Lab)

January 12, 2022

Courtney N. Johnson, Xiaoping Xu, Stephen P. Holloway & David S. Libich Abstract The RNA-binding protein EWS is a multifunctional protein with roles in the regulation of transcription and RNA splicing. It is one of the FET (FUS, EWS, and TAF15) family of RNA binding proteins that contain an intrinsically disordered, low-complexity N-terminal domain. The FET [...]

BMC Bioinformatics – Correlation AnalyzeR: Functional Predictions from Gene Co-Expression Correlations (Bishop Lab)

April 21, 2021

Henry E. Miller, Alexander J. R. Bishop Abstract Background Co-expression correlations provide the ability to predict gene functionality within specific biological contexts, such as different tissue and disease conditions. However, current gene co-expression databases generally do not consider the biological context. In addition, these tools often implement a limited range of unsophisticated analysis approaches, diminishing […]
