Background: Experimental verification of gene products has not kept pace with the rapid growth of microbial sequence information. However, existing annotations of gene locations c...
Background: Does a relationship exist between a protein's evolutionary rate and its number of interactions? This relationship has been put forward many times, based on a biol...
Background: The majority of peptide bonds in proteins are found to occur in the trans conformation. However, for proline residues, a considerable fraction of Prolyl peptide bonds ...

Background: In order to improve gene prediction, extrinsic evidence on the gene structure can be collected from various sources of information such as genome-genome comparisons an...
Background: Until today, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has been the de-facto gold standard for the assessment of phylogenetic relationships among prokaryotes. How...
