Physical and Genetic Structure of the Maize Genome Reflects Its Complex Evolutionary History

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops and a model for the study of genetics, evolution, and domestication. To better understand maize genome organization and to build a framework for genome sequencing, we constructed a sequence-ready fingerprinted contig-based physical map that covers 93.5% of the genome, of which 86.1% is aligned to the genetic map. The fingerprinted co...

Protein secondary structure assignment through Voronoï tessellation.

We present a new automatic algorithm, named VoTAP (Voronoï Tessellation Assignment Procedure), which assigns secondary structures of a polypeptide chain using the list of alpha-carbon coordinates. This program uses three-dimensional Voronoï tessellation. This geometrical tool associates with each amino acid a Voronoï polyhedron, the faces of which unambiguously define contacts between residues....

Knowledge-based protein secondary structure assignment.

We have developed an automatic algorithm STRIDE for protein secondary structure assignment from atomic coordinates based on the combined use of hydrogen bond energy and statistically derived backbone torsional angle information. Parameters of the pattern recognition procedure were optimized using designations provided by the crystallographers as a standard-of-truth. Comparison to the currently ...
