Consensus protein design without phylogenetic bias.
Consensus design is an appealing strategy for the stabilization of proteins. It exploits amino acid conservation in sets of homologous proteins to identify likely beneficial mutations. Nevertheless, its success depends on the phylogenetic diversity of the sequence set available. Here, we show that randomization of a single protein represents a reliable alternative source of sequence diversity t...
متن کاملConsensus protein design
A popular and successful strategy in semi-rational design of protein stability is the use of evolutionary information encapsulated in homologous protein sequences. Consensus design is based on the hypothesis that at a given position, the respective consensus amino acid contributes more than average to the stability of the protein than non-conserved amino acids. Here, we review the consensus des...
متن کاملUncovering Hidden Phylogenetic Consensus
Many of the steps in phylogenetic reconstruction can be confounded by “rogue” taxa, taxa that cannot be placed with assurance anywhere within the tree—whose location within the tree, in fact, varies with almost any choice of algorithm or parameters. Phylogenetic consensus methods, in particular, are known to suffer from this problem. In this paper we provide a novel framework in which to define...
متن کاملAvoiding Phylogenetic Bias
absence of viviparity or at least egg-retention in birds. And what drives research if not challenging mysteries? Moreover, the borderline between inventing adaptive stories and proposing hypotheses to generate testable predictions is not sharp. The book presents new ideas at the research frontier, which is one of its many merits. For instance, CluttonBrock argues that the potential reproductive...
متن کاملMultipolar consensus for phylogenetic trees.
Collections of phylogenetic trees are usually summarized using consensus methods. These methods build a single tree, supposed to be representative of the collection. However, in the case of heterogeneous collections of trees, the resulting consensus may be poorly resolved (strict consensus, majority-rule consensus, ...), or may perform arbitrary choices among mutually incompatible clades, or sp...
