Bassett, E., Wishart, D.S., Lu, P., MacDonnell, C., Berjanskii, M., Zhou, J., Liang, J., Zhou, Y., Cruz, J.A., Lin, G., Tang, P.
GeNMR (GEnerate NMR structures) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using sequence data, NOE-based distance restraints and/or NMR chemical shifts as input. GeNMR accepts distance restraints in XPLOR or CYANA format as well as chemical shift files in either SHIFTY...

Wang, W., Li, J., Liu, D., Lu, Z., Zheng, H., Wong, G., Cai, Z., Fan, C., Zhang, J., Vang, S., Long, M., Zhang, G., Wang, J., Shi, J.
Retroposition is widely found to play essential roles in origination of new mammalian and other animal genes. However, the scarcity of retrogenes in plants has led to the assumption that plant genomes rarely evolve new gene duplicates by retroposition, despite abundant retrotransposons in plants...

Homology in comparative, molecular, and evolutionary developmental biology: The radiation of a concept
Download2003
The present paper analyzes the use and understanding of the homology concept across different biological disciplines. It is argued that in its history, the homology concept underwent a sort of adaptive radiation. Once it migrated from comparative anatomy into new biological fields, the homology...

Wang, W., Wang, H., Wong, G.K.S., Zheng, H., Clark, T., Zhang, G., Kang, L., Wang, J., Shi, J., Wang, X.
Background Insects constitute the vast majority of known species with their importance including biodiversity, agricultural, and human health concerns. It is likely that the successful adaptation of the Insecta clade depends on specific components in its proteome that give rise to specialized...

Identification of a novel lipase gene mutated in lpd mice with hypertriglyceridemia and associated with dyslipidemia in humans
Download2003-05-13
Wen, Xiao-Yan, Hegele, Robert A., Wang, Jian, Wang, Ding Yan, Cheung, Joseph, Wilson, Michael, Yahyapour, Maryam, Bai, Yahong, Zhuang, Lihua, Skaug, Jennifer, Young, T. Kue, Connelly, Philip W., Koop, Ben F., Tsui, Lap-Chee, Stewart, A. Keith
"Triglyceride (TG) metabolism is crucial for whole body and local energy homeostasis and accumulating evidence suggests an independent association between plasma TG concentration and increased atherosclerosis risk. We previously generated a mouse insertional mutation lpd (lipid defect) whose...

Improving the accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction using structural alignment
Download2006
Gallin, W.J., Wishart, D.S., Montgomerie, S., Sundararaj, S.
Background: The accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has steadily improved over the past 30 years. Now many secondary structure prediction methods routinely achieve an accuracy (Q3) of about 75%. We believe this accuracy could be further improved by including structure (as opposed...

Influence of beef production practices on meat quality characteristics and expression of genes related to collagen synthesis and degradation in the bovine m. triceps brachii
DownloadSpring 2020
Production factors such as cattle breed, genetics, age, feed, muscle activity and processing factor such post-mortem ageing may affect the contribution of collagen and collagen cross-links to beef toughness. Selection of low residual feed intake (RFI) cattle, which consume less feed than...

Fall 2009
One important goal in microarray data analysis is to learn a predictor using a patient’s microarray data to predict some important characteristics of that patient. The high dimensionality of data makes learning such classifiers very challenging. We tried to use prior biological knowledge to...
