Why are there 20 amino acids and 4 nucleotides? Combining Energy Landscape and Molecular Information theories provides constraints to the alphabet size of an evolving biopolymer, given its physico-chemical properties... Read more in our new article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An information-theoretic argument for the restriction of the current biological alphabets to 4 nucleotides and 20 amino acids - Scientific Reports
Life as we know it is based on foldable biopolymers encoded with just 4 nucleotides or 20 amino acids. Evolution of these biopolymers requires effective and fast search of both the conformational spac...

Many regulatory layers modulate splicing factors at the same time impacting their activity. How can we quantify it? Apparently "functional" target exons give us a hint and uncover two cancer programs. Have a look at our solution: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Exon inclusion signatures enable accurate estimation of splicing factor activity - Nature Communications
Splicing factors shape how genes are stitched into RNA, but their activity is hard to measure. Here, the authors benchmark network methods and show exon-inclusion signatures infer splicing factor acti...

Transcription start sites experience a high influx of heritable variants fueled by early development - Nature Communications
The impact of transcription on germline mutagenesis remains poorly understood. Here, the authors identify a mutational hotspot at transcription start sites in the human germline that is significantly ...
