The marine environment presents itself as a treasure chest, full of a vast diversity of organisms yet to be explored. Among these organisms, macroalgae stand out as a major source of natural products due to their nature as primary producers and relevance in the sustainability of marine ecosystems. Sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) are a group of polym...

Personal identification based on radar gait measurement is an important application of biometric technology because it enables remote and continuous identification of people, irrespective of the lighting conditions and subjects' outfits. This study explores an effective time-velocity distribution and its relevant parameters for Doppler-radar-based ...

Interpreting and visualizing synteny relationships across several genomes is a challenging task. We previously proposed a network-based approach for better visualization and interpretation of large-scale microsynteny analyses. Here, we present syntenet, an R package to infer and analyze synteny networks from whole-genome protein sequ...
N-terminal acetylation is a conserved protein modification among eukaryotes. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a valuable model system for studying this modification. The bulk of protein N-terminal acetylation in S. cerevisiae is catalyzed by the N-terminal acetyltransferases NatA, NatB, and NatC. Thus far, proteome-wide identification of the i...

Although many arenaviruses cause severe diseases with high fatality rates each year, treatment options are limited to off-label use of ribavirin, and a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved vaccine is not available. To identify novel therapeutic candidates against arenaviral diseases, an RNA polymerase I-driven minigenome (MG) expression syst...

Radiation therapy damages tumors and normal tissues, probably in part through the recruitment of immune cells. Endothelial high-mannose N-glycans are, in particular, involved in monocyte-endothelium interactions. Trimmed by the class I α-mannosidases, these structures are quite rare in normal conditions. Here, we show that the expression of the end...
