Fast and accurate multivariate Gaussian modeling of protein families: Predicting residue contacts and protein-interaction partners

Carlo Baldassi, Marco Zamparo, Christoph Feinauer +4

In the course of evolution, proteins show a remarkable conservation of their three-dimensional structure and their biological function, leading to strong evolutionary constraints o…

Dissecting the Specificity of Protein-Protein Interaction in Bacterial Two-Component Signaling: Orphans and Crosstalks

Andrea Procaccini, Bryan Lunt, Hendrik Szurmant +2

Predictive understanding of the myriads of signal transduction pathways in a cell is an outstanding challenge of systems biology. Such pathways are primarily mediated by specific b…

The STARFLAG handbook on collective animal behaviour: Part II, three-dimensional analysis

Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina, Alberto Orlandi +2

The study of collective animal behaviour must progress through a comparison between the theoretical predictions of numerical models and data coming from empirical observations. To…

The STARFLAG handbook on collective animal behaviour: Part I, empirical methods

Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina, Alberto Orlandi +4

The most startling examples of collective animal behaviour are provided by very large and cohesive groups moving in three dimensions. Paradigmatic examples are bird flocks, fish sc…

An empirical study of large, naturally occurring starling flocks: a benchmark in collective animal behaviour

Michele Ballerini, Nicola Cabibbo, Raphael Candelier +8

Bird flocking is a striking example of collective animal behaviour. A vivid illustration of this phenomenon is provided by the aerial display of vast flocks of starlings gathering…

Interaction Ruling Animal Collective Behaviour Depends on Topological rather than Metric Distance: Evidence from a Field Study

M. Ballerini, N. Cabibbo, R. Candelier +9

Numerical models indicate that collective animal behaviour may emerge from simple local rules of interaction among the individuals. However, very little is known about the nature o…
