The energy-spectrum of bicompatible sequences
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Genotype-phenotype maps provide a meaningful filtration of sequence space and RNA secondary structures are particular such phenotypes. Compatible sequences i.e.~sequences that satisfy the base pairing constraints of a given RNA structure play an important role in the context of neutral networks and inverse folding. Sequences satisfying the constraints of two structures simultaneously are called bicompatible and phenotypic change, induced by erroneously replicating populations of RNA sequences,

... s closely connected to bicompatibility. Furthermore, bicompatible sequences are relevant for riboswitch sequences, beacons of evolution, realizing two distinct phenotypes. Results: We present a full loop energy model Boltzmann sampler of bicompatible sequences for pairs of structures. The novel dynamic programming algorithm is based on a topological framework encapsulating the relations between loops. We utilize our sequence sampler to study the energy spectra and density of bicompatible sequences, the rankings of the structures and key properties for evolutionary transitions. Conclusion: Our analysis of riboswitch sequences shows that key properties of bicompatible sequences depend on the particular pair of structures. While there always exist bicompatible sequences for random structure pairs, they are less suited to facilitate transitions. We show that native riboswitch sequences exhibit a distinct signature with regards to the ranking of their two phenotypes relative to the minimum free energy, suggesting a new criterion for identifying native sequences and sequences subjected to evolutionary pressure.

Genetic robustness of let-7 miRNA sequence-structure pairs
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Genetic robustness, the preservation of evolved phenotypes against genotypic mutations, is one of the central concepts in evolution. In recent years a large body of work has focused on the origins, mechanisms, and consequences of robustness in a wide range of biological systems. In particular, research on ncRNAs studied the ability of sequences to maintain folded structures against single-point mutations. In these studies, the structure is merely a reference. However, recent work revealed

... ce that structure itself contributes to the genetic robustness of ncRNAs. We follow this line of thought and consider sequence-structure pairs as the unit of evolution and introduce the spectrum of inverse folding rates (IFR-spectrum) as a measurement of genetic robustness. Our analysis of the miRNA let-7 family captures key features of structure-modulated evolution and facilitates the study of robustness against multiple-point mutations.

The energy-spectrum of bicompatible sequences
2021
Algorithms for Molecular Biology
Background Genotype-phenotype maps provide a meaningful filtration of sequence space and RNA secondary structures are particular such phenotypes. Compatible sequences, which satisfy the base-pairing constraints of a given RNA structure, play an important role in the context of neutral evolution. Sequences that are simultaneously compatible with two given structures (bicompatible sequences), are beacons in phenotypic transitions, induced by erroneously replicating populations of RNA sequences.

... A riboswitches, which are capable of expressing two distinct secondary structures without changing the underlying sequence, are one example of bicompatible sequences in living organisms. Results We present a full loop energy model Boltzmann sampler of bicompatible sequences for pairs of structures. The sequence sampler employs a dynamic programming routine whose time complexity is polynomial when assuming the maximum number of exposed vertices, $$\kappa $$ κ , is a constant. The parameter $$\kappa $$ κ depends on the two structures and can be very large. We introduce a novel topological framework encapsulating the relations between loops that sheds light on the understanding of $$\kappa $$ κ . Based on this framework, we give an algorithm to sample sequences with minimum $$\kappa $$ κ on a particular topologically classified case as well as giving hints to the solution in the other cases. As a result, we utilize our sequence sampler to study some established riboswitches. Conclusion Our analysis of riboswitch sequences shows that a pair of structures needs to satisfy key properties in order to facilitate phenotypic transitions and that pairs of random structures are unlikely to do so. Our analysis observes a distinct signature of riboswitch sequences, suggesting a new criterion for identifying native sequences and sequences subjected to evolutionary pressure.

Protein Supplementation Does Not Affect Myogenic Adaptations to Resistance Training
2017
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise
It has been proposed that protein supplementation during resistance exercise training enhances muscle hypertrophy. The degree of hypertrophy during training is controlled in part through the activation of satellite cells and myonuclear accretion. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the efficacy of protein supplementation (and the type of protein) during traditional resistance training on myofiber cross-sectional area, satellite cell content, and myonuclear addition. Methods: Healthy young

... participated in supervised whole-body progressive resistance training 3 dIwk j1 for 12 wk. Participants were randomized to one of three groups ingesting a daily 22-g macronutrient dose of soy-dairy protein blend (PB, n = 22), whey protein isolate (WP, n = 15), or an isocaloric maltodextrin placebo (MDP, n = 17). Lean mass, vastus lateralis myofiber-type-specific cross-sectional area, satellite cell content, and myonuclear addition were assessed before and after resistance training. Results: PB and the pooled protein treatments (PB + WP = PRO) exhibited a greater whole-body lean mass %change compared with MDP (P = 0.057 for PB) and (P = 0.050 for PRO), respectively. All treatments demonstrated similar leg muscle hypertrophy and vastus lateralis myofiber-type-specific cross-sectional area (P G 0.05). Increases in myosin heavy chain I and II myofiber satellite cell content and myonuclei content were also detected after exercise training (P G 0.05). Conclusion: Protein supplementation during resistance training has a modest effect on whole-body lean mass as compared with exercise training without protein supplementation, and there was no effect on any outcome between protein supplement types (blend vs whey). However, protein supplementation did not enhance resistance exercise-induced increases in myofiber hypertrophy, satellite cell content, or myonuclear addition in young healthy men. We propose that as long as protein intake is adequate during muscle overload, the adaptations in muscle growth and function will not be influenced by protein supplementation.

Evaluation of SMP Shared Memory Machines for Use with In-Memory and OpenMP Big Data Applications
2016
2016 IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium Workshops (IPDPSW)
While distributed memory systems have shaped the field of distributed systems for decades, the demand for many-core shared memory resources is increasing. Symmetric Multiprocessor Systems (SMPs) have become increasingly important recently among a wide array of disciplines, ranging from Bioinformatics to astrophysics, and beyond. With the increase in big data computing, the size and scope of traditional commodity server systems is often outpaced. While some big data applications can be mapped to

... distributed memory systems found through many cluster and cloud technologies today, this effort represents a large barrier of entry that some projects cannot cross. Shared memory SMP systems look to effectively and efficiently fill this niche within distributed systems by providing high throughput and performance with minimized development effort, as the computing environment often represents what many researchers are already familiar with. In this paper we look at the use of two common shared memory systems, the ScaleMP vSMP virtualized SMP deployment at Indiana University, and the SGI UV architecture deployed at University of Arizona. While both systems are notably different in their design, their potential impact on computing are remarkably similar. As such, we look to compare each system first under a set of OpenMP threaded benchmarks via the SPEC group, and follow up with our experience using each machine for Trinity de-novo assembly. We find both SMP systems are well suited to support various big data applications, with the newer vSMP deployment often slightly faster, however certain caveats and performance considerations are necessary when considering such SMP systems.
