A flexible multiple sequence alignment program.

Abstract:

:The 'regions' method for multisequence alignment used in the previously reported program MALIGN has been generalized to include recursive refinement so that unaligned portions between two regions at the current level of resolution can be handled with increased resolution. Additionally, there is incorporated a limiting of the number of regions to be used at any level of resolution from which to abstract an alignment. This provides a significant increase in speed over the unlimited version. The program GENALIGN uses this improved regions method to execute fast pairwise alignments in the framework of Taylor's multisequence alignment procedure using clustered pairwise alignments. Pairwise alignments by dynamic programming are also provided in the program.

  • Sequence-dependent off-target inhibition of TLR7/8 sensing by synthetic microRNA inhibitors.

    abstract::Anti-microRNA (miRNA) oligonucleotides (AMOs) with 2'-O-Methyl (2'OMe) residues are commonly used to study miRNA function and can achieve high potency, with low cytotoxicity. Not withstanding this, we demonstrate the sequence-dependent capacity of 2'OMe AMOs to inhibit Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 and 8 sensing of immun...
