Recovering prokaryotic genomes from host-associated, short-read shotgun metagenomic sequencing data
Recovering genomes from shotgun metagenomic sequence data allows detailed taxonomic and functional characterization of individual species or strains in a microbial community. Retrieving these metagenome-assemb...

Open AccessStructure and computational analysis of a novel protein with metallopeptidase-like and circularly permuted winged-helix-turn-helix domains reveals a possible role in modified polysaccharide biosynthesis
CA_C2195 from Clostridium acetobutylicum is a protein of unknown function. Sequence analysis predicted that part of the protein contained a metallopeptidase-related domain. There are over 200 homologs of similar ...

Open AccessSkylign: a tool for creating informative, interactive logos representing sequence alignments and profile hidden Markov models
Logos are commonly used in molecular biology to provide a compact graphical representation of the conservation pattern of a set of sequences. They render the information contained in sequence alignments or pro...

Open AccessTwo Pfam protein families characterized by a crystal structure of protein lpg2210 from Legionella pneumophila
Every genome contains a large number of uncharacterized proteins that may encode entirely novel biological systems. Many of these uncharacterized proteins fall into related sequence families. By applying seque...

Open AccessPredicting active site residue annotations in the Pfam database
Approximately 5% of Pfam families are enzymatic, but only a small fraction of the sequences within these families (<0.5%) have had the residues responsible for catalysis determined. To increase the active site...
