Publications
Microeconomic principles explain an optimal genome size in bacteriaJuan A G Ranea
Biomolecular Structure and Modelling Group, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University College London, London, UK
Trends Genet 21:21-5. 2005..This optimum is reached when the bacterial genome obtains the maximum metabolic complexity (revenue) for minimal regulatory genes (logistic cost)...
Predicting protein function with hierarchical phylogenetic profiles: the Gene3D Phylo-Tuner method applied to eukaryotic genomesJuan A G Ranea
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University College London, London, United Kingdom
PLoS Comput Biol 3:e237. 2007..Our method finds functional relationships that are not detectable by the conventional presence-absence profile comparisons, and it does not require a priori any fixed criteria to define orthologous genes...
Protein superfamily evolution and the last universal common ancestor (LUCA)Juan A G Ranea
Biomolecular Structure and Modelling Group, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University College London, London, WC1E 6BT, UK
J Mol Evol 63:513-25. 2006....
Exploiting protein structure data to explore the evolution of protein function and biological complexityRussell L Marsden
Department of Biochemistry, University College London Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 361:425-40. 2006....
Evolution of protein superfamilies and bacterial genome sizeJuan A G Ranea
Biomlolecular Structure and Modelling Group, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK
J Mol Biol 336:871-87. 2004..For the size-dependent superfamilies, linearly distributed superfamilies are involved mainly in metabolism, and non-linearly distributed superfamily domains are involved principally in gene regulation...
Assessing protein co-evolution in the context of the tree of life assists in the prediction of the interactomeFlorencio Pazos
Structural Bioinformatics Group, Division of Molecular Biosciences, Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK
J Mol Biol 352:1002-15. 2005..We also show that taking into account these non-canonical evolutionary events when assessing the similarity between evolutionary trees improves the performance of the method predicting interactions...
