A unified analysis of evolutionary and population constraint in protein domains highlights structural features and pathogenic sites

Abstract Protein evolution is constrained by structure and function, creating patterns in 6KS residue conservation that are routinely exploited to predict structure and other features.Similar constraints should affect variation across individuals, but it is only with the growth of human population sequencing that this has been tested at scale.Now,

Dynamic trans interactions in yeast chromosomes.

Three-dimensional organization of the genome is important for regulation of gene expression and maintenance of genomic stability.It also defines, and is defined by, contacts between different chromosomal loci.Interactions between loci positioned on different chromosomes, i.e."trans" interactions are one type of such contacts.Here, we describe a cas

A Markov Model of Non-Mutually Exclusive Cyber Threats and its Applications for Selecting an Optimal Set of Information Security Remedies

In this 6KS work, we study a Markov model of cyber threats that act on a computer system.Within the framework of the model the computer system is considered as a system with failures and recoveries by analogy with models of reliability theory.To estimate functionally-temporal properties of the system we introduce a parameter called the lifetime of
