Analytical Genomics

The Analytical Genomics team releases the complete cross docking data of Mintseris Benchmark 2.0.

The analysis will are available in the article:

Anne Lopes,  Sophie Sacquin-Mora, Viktoriya Dimitrova, Elodie Laine, Yann Ponty, Alessandra Carbone. Protein-Protein Interactions in a Crowded Environment: An Analysis via Cross-Docking Simulations and Evolutionary Information. PLOS computational Biology (2013).

The dataset of protein-protein interactions was produced with over 7 months of computations on World Community Grid and with the help of thousands of internautes providing their computer time to dock about 300000 conformations per protein pair in the set of 28224 possible pairs in the Mintseris dataset.

Alessandra Carbone has been elected Senior Member at the Institut Universitaire de France.

Alessandra Carbone organizes the special session in "Computational Molecular Biology" at Computability in Europe 2013 - The Nature of Computation: Logic, Algorithms, Applications. July, 1st-5th, 2013, Univ Milano-Bicocca, Milano, Italy.

Guénola Drillon (from the teams 'Analytical Genomics' and 'Biology of Genomes') will defend her thesis entitled "Combinatorics of chromosomal rearrangement and ancestral genome reconstruction in eukaryotes" on Monday, February 25, 2013 at 2pm - Campus des Cordeliers (15 rue de l'école de médecine, 75006 Paris), Auditorium Bilski-Pasquier.

The Analytical Genomics team published: A.Mathelier and A.Carbone, Large scale chromosomal mapping of human microRNA structural clusters, Nucleic Acids Research, in press.

The Analytical Genomics team has a feature article in International Science Grid This Week: Desktop power helps map protein dance

Alessandra Carbone received the Grammaticakis-Neuman Prize of the Académie des Sciences for her applications of Mathematics to Biology.
