Structure can emerge from disorder under neutral evolution

The paper shows that neutral evolution can lead to increased structure in unstructured proteins and loss of structure in structured proteins, suggesting a diffuse sequence-structure landscape.

In search for multifunctional lncRNAs

The paper investigates multifunctional lncRNAs, showing they can perform regulatory and translational functions, and may contribute to the evolution of new protein-coding genes.

Sequence, Structure and Functional space of Drosophila de novo proteins

The paper identifies and characterizes functional de novo proteins in Drosophila using machine learning tools, finding some adopt known folds and participate in cellular processes.

Intronic non-coding RNAs within ribosomal protein coding genes can regulate biogenesis of yeast ribosome

The paper identifies and validates intronic small RNAs (isRNAs) in yeast ribosomal protein genes that may regulate ribosome biogenesis through a feed-forward loop.

Identification of novel circadian transcripts in the zebrafish retina

The paper identifies novel circadian transcripts in the zebrafish retina and distinguishes between light-entrained and free-running oscillations.

Dissection of the contribution of regulation mode to the properties of feedforward and feedback gene regulatory motifs.

The paper analyzes how different regulatory modes affect gene regulatory motifs' response to input changes, finding that protein-mediated motifs adapt better and feedforward motifs show perfect adaptation.
