Linear motifs are short segments of multidomain proteins that provide regulatory functions
independently of protein tertiary structure. Much of intracellular signalling passes through …

Specific protein–protein interactions are central to all processes that underlie cell physiology.
Numerous studies have together identified hundreds of thousands of human protein–…

Despite their unparalleled biodiversity, the genomic resources available for beetles (Coleoptera)
remain relatively scarce. We present an integrative and high quality annotated …

Viral proteins make extensive use of short peptide interaction motifs to hijack cellular host
factors. However, most current large-scale methods do not identify this important class of …

The most common risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is chronic
infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV). To better understand the evolutionary forces driving HCC, …

Blasting operation should be performed satisfying some criteria, such as fragmentation,
flyrock, and cost. To reach the most appropriate alternative among previous performed blast …

Viruses mimic host short linear motifs (SLiMs) to hijack and deregulate cellular functions.
Studies of motif-mediated interactions therefore provide insight into virus-host dependencies, …

Genes with sex-biased expression show a number of unique properties and this has been
seen as evidence for conflicting selection pressures in males and females, forming a genetic ‘…

Background Sexual dimorphism in immunity is believed to reflect sex differences in reproductive
strategies and trade-offs between competing life history demands. Sexual selection can …

Callosobruchus maculatus is a major agricultural pest of legume crops worldwide and an
established model system in ecology and evolution. Yet, current molecular biological …
