Journal ArticleDOI

STRING 8—a global view on proteins and their functional interactions in 630 organisms

TL;DR: The most important new developments in STRING 8 over previous releases include a URL-based programming interface, improved interaction prediction via genomic neighborhood in prokaryotes, and the inclusion of protein structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward Automatic Reconstruction of a Highly Resolved Tree of Life

TL;DR: An automatable procedure for reconstructing the tree of life with branch lengths comparable across all three domains is developed, revealing interdomain discrepancies in taxonomic classification and suggesting a thermophilic last universal common ancestor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of methods for amino acid matrix selection and their use on empirical data shows that ad hoc assumptions for choice of matrix are not justified

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that for two large datasets derived from the proteobacteria and archaea, one of the most favored models in both datasets is a model that was originally derived from retroviral Pol proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

eggNOG v4.0: nested orthology inference across 3686 organisms

TL;DR: The eggNOG database as mentioned in this paper provides a comprehensive characterization and analysis pipeline to derive nonsupervised orthologous groups (NOGs) from complete genomes, and then applies a comprehensive analysis to the resulting gene families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Experimental Determination of Barriers to Horizontal Gene Transfer

TL;DR: The data suggest that toxicity to the host inhibited transfer regardless of the species of origin and that increased gene dosage and associated increased expression may be a predominant cause for transfer failure.
