ProLego: tool for extracting and visualizing topological modules in protein structures.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:In protein design, correct use of topology is among the initial and most critical feature. Meticulous selection of backbone topology aids in drastically reducing the structure search space. With ProLego, we present a server application to explore the component aspect of protein structures and provide an intuitive and efficient way to scan the protein topology space. RESULT:We have implemented in-house developed "topological representation" in an automated-pipeline to extract protein topology from given protein structure. Using the topology string, ProLego, compares topology against a non-redundant extensive topology database (ProLegoDB) as well as extracts constituent topological modules. The platform offers interactive topology visualization graphs. CONCLUSION:ProLego, provides an alternative but comprehensive way to scan and visualize protein topology along with an extensive database of protein topology. ProLego can be found at http://www.proteinlego.com.

  • Sample size calculation while controlling false discovery rate for differential expression analysis with RNA-sequencing experiments.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:RNA-Sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments have been popularly applied to transcriptome studies in recent years. Such experiments are still relatively costly. As a result, RNA-seq experiments often employ a small number of replicates. Power analysis and sample size calculation are challenging in the context of dif...
