Statistical analysis of number of genes and chromosome lengths of different microbial species

This paper analyzes the relationship between gene count and chromosome length across microbial species, finding a positive correlation in bacteria but not archaea, suggesting differences in genome compaction and repetitive sequences.

Ribosomal protein database profiling lends clarity to ribosomal protein evolution and mass distribution

The paper develops a MATLAB tool to extract and analyze ribosomal protein data from microbial proteomes, revealing molecular weight distribution patterns and evolutionary insights.

Categorization of prophage genes in Bacillus subtilis 168 and assessing their relative importance through RNA-seq gene expression analysis

The paper identifies prophage regions in Bacillus subtilis 168 and assesses their gene expression through RNA-seq, revealing unexpected high expression of prophage genes.

Annotation of ribosomal protein mass peaks in MALDI-TOF mass spectra of bacterial species and their phylogenetic significance

This study annotates ribosomal protein mass peaks in MALDI-TOF mass spectra of bacterial species and finds they hold phylogenetic significance, though structural conservation is not observed.

Number of mismatches and length of longest match correlate with alignment score in swalign built-in function in MATLAB

This study examines how alignment score in MATLAB's swalign tool correlates with mismatches and longest match length in RNA-seq alignments to E. coli genome.
