Aligning a Synapse
Synaptic communication requires alignment of transmitter release sites with transmitter receptors. In this issue of Neuron, Wang et al. (2017) show that α2δ4 subunits link calcium channels to a trans-synaptic complex with glutamate receptors at the visual system's first synapse.
متن کاملA Framework for Aligning Ontologies
Ontologies are an important technology for the Semantic Web. In different areas ontologies have already been developed and many of these ontologies contain overlapping information. Often we would therefore want to be able to use multiple ontologies and thus the ontologies need to be aligned. Currently, there exist a number of systems that support users in aligning ontologies, but not many compa...
متن کاملAligning Alignments
While the area of sequence comparison has a rich collection of results on the alignment of two sequences, and even the alignment of multiple sequences, there is little known about the alignment of two alignments. The problem becomes interesting when the alignment objective function counts gaps, as is common when aligning biological sequences, and has the form of the sum-of-pairs objective. We b...
متن کاملSynDB: a Synapse protein DataBase based on synapse ontology
A synapse is the junction across which a nerve impulse passes from an axon terminal to a neuron, muscle cell or gland cell. The functions and building molecules of the synapse are essential to almost all neurobiological processes. To describe synaptic structures and functions, we have developed Synapse Ontology (SynO), a hierarchical representation that includes 177 terms with hundreds of synon...

elements, which do not anastomose, and that nervous action is made by contacts ‘at the level of certain apparatuses or dispositions of engagement’. Camillo Golgi (1842–1926) maintained that he could identify intracellular neurofibrils in nerves with his silver technique and that these extended from one nerve bulb to the next providing a continuous anastomosis. Cajal and Golgi shared the Nobel P...
