Open AccessSynthase-selected sorting approach identifies a beta-lactone synthase in a nudibranch symbiotic bacterium
Nudibranchs comprise a group of > 6000 marine soft-bodied mollusk species known to use secondary metabolites (natural products) for chemical defense. The full diversity of these metabolites and whether symbiot...

Open AccessAnalysis of the nucleotide sequence of the guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) genome
In this report we describe the genomic sequence of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) assembled from a tissue culture-derived bacterial artificial chromosome clone, plasmid clones of viral restriction fragment...

Protocol
The Rosetta Stone Method
Analysis of amino acid sequences from different organisms often reveals cases in which two or more proteins encoded for separately in a genome also appear as fusions, either in the same genome or that of some ...

Phylogenetic Profiling
Phylogenetic profiles describe the presence or absence of a protein in a set of reference genomes. Similarity between profiles is an indicator of functional coupling between gene products: the greater the simi...

Estimating Protein Function Using Protein-Protein Relationships
Many newly identified gene products from completely sequenced genomes are difficult to characterize in the absence of sequence homology to known proteins. In such a scenario, the context of the proteins’ funct...

Discovery of uncharacterized cellular systems by genome-wide analysis of functional linkages
We introduce a general computational method, applicable on a genome-wide scale, for the systematic discovery of uncharacterized cellular systems. Quantitative analysis of the coinheritance of pairs of genes am...
