Co-evolution between Codon Usage and Protein-Protein Interaction in Bacteria
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Sergio Forcelloni +1
We study the correlation between the codon usage bias of genetic sequences and the network features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) in bacterial species. We use PCA techniques…
Spin glasses in a field show a phase transition varying the distance among real replicas (and how to exploit it to find the critical line in a field)
Maddalena Dilucca, Luca Leuzzi, Giorgio Parisi +2
We discuss a phase transition in spin glass models which have been rarely considered in the past, namely the phase transition that may take place when two real replicas are forced…
Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Giansanti
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene…
Essentiality, conservation, evolutionary pressure and codon bias in bacterial genes
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Giansanti
Essential genes constitute the core of genes which cannot be mutated too much nor lost along the evolutionary history of a species. Natural selection is expected to be stricter on…
Codon Bias Patterns of 's Interacting Proteins
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Semmoloni +2
Synonymous codons, i.e., DNA nucleotide triplets coding for the same amino acid, are used differently across the variety of living organisms. The biological meaning of this phenome…
