Essential role of long non-coding RNAs in de novo chromatin modifications: The genomic address code hypothesis
Ken Nishikawa, Akira R. Kinjo
The epigenome, i.e. the whole of chromatin modifications, is transferred from mother to daughter cells during cell differentiation. When de novo chromatin modifications (establishm…
Cooperation between genetic mutations and phenotypic plasticity can bypass the Weismann barrier: The cooperative model of evolution
Ken Nishikawa, Akira R. Kinjo
The Weismann barrier, or the impossibility of inheritance of acquired traits, comprises a foundation of modern biology, and it has been a major obstacle in establishing the connect…
Wang-Landau molecular dynamics technique to search for low-energy conformational space of proteins
Takehiro Nagasima, Akira R. Kinjo, Takashi Mitsui +1
Multicanonical molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful technique for sampling conformations on rugged potential surfaces such as protein. However, it is notoriously difficult to esti…
Gene cluster analysis method reliably identifies horizontally transferred genes and reveals their involvement in operon formation
Keiichi Homma, Satoshi Fukuchi, Yoji Nakamura +2
The formation mechanism of operons remains controversial despite the proposal of many models. Although acquisition of genes from other species, horizontal gene transfer, is conside…
CRNPRED: Highly Accurate Prediction of One-dimensional Protein Structures by Large-scale Critical Random Networks
Akira R. Kinjo, Ken Nishikawa
Background: One-dimensional protein structures such as secondary structures or contact numbers are useful for three-dimensional structure prediction and helpful for intuitive under…
