An Entropy-Based Technique for Classifying Bacterial Chromosomes According to Synonymous Codon Usage
We present a framework based on conditional entropy and the Dirichlet distribution for classifying chromosomes based on the degree to which they use synonymous codons uniformly or preferentially, that is, whether or not codons that code for an amino acid appear with the same relative frequency. Applying the approach to a large collection of annotated bacterial chromosomes reveals three distinct groups of bacteria.

Computational tools for the multiscale analysis of Hi-C data in bacterial chromosomes
Just as in eukaryotes, high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) data have revealed nested organizations of bacterial chromosomes into overlapping interaction domains. In this chapter, we present a multiscal…
Of Protein Size and Genomes
An approach for approximately calculating the number of genes in a genome is presented, which takes into account the average protein length expected for the species. A number of virus, bacterial and eukaryotic genomes ar…
Deep Learning to Detect Bacterial Colonies for the Production of Vaccines
During the development of vaccines, bacterial colony forming units (CFUs) are counted in order to quantify the yield in the fermentation process. This manual task is time-consuming and error-prone. In this work we test m…
Probing DNA interactions with proteins using a single-molecule toolbox: inside the cell, in a test tube, and in a computer
DNA-interacting proteins have roles multiple processes, many operating as molecular machines which undergo dynamic metastable transitions to bring about their biological function. To fully understand this molecular heter…
