http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-conserved-are-protein-protein.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Friday, 21 September 2012. How conserved are protein-protein interactions? And why would you want to know? To say that two proteins are homologous means that they are similar through common evolutionary descent: in some sense, they are the 'same' protein). The answer, it is often assumed, is 'yes': a fai...

Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Thursday, 10 April 2014. Telling apart two sets of signals. A) Comparing time series by alignment B) Comparing time series by their structural features: in this we probe many structural features of the time series simultaneously (ii) and then distil out the relevant ones (iii). Each of the dots correspon...

Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Thursday, 11 December 2014. Turbocharging the back of the envelope. The numbers that we use to describe the world are rarely exact. How long will it take you to drive to work? Perhaps "between 20 and 30 minutes". It would be unwise (and unnecessary) to say "exactly 23.4 minutes". The excellent " What If?

Systems and Signals Group: How evolution deals with mitochondrial mutants (and how we can take advantage)
http://systems-signals.blogspot.com/2015/06/how-evolution-deals-with-mitochondrial.html
Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Monday, 15 June 2015. How evolution deals with mitochondrial mutants (and how we can take advantage). Is it due to the decreased number of mtDNAs per cell, increasing the magnitude of genetic drift? Or does something occur during later development to induce the variability? Labels: approximate Bayesian c...

Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Monday, 27 April 2015. The function of mitochondrial networks. Mitochondria are dynamic energy-producing organelles, and there can be hundreds or even thousands of them in one cell. Mitochondria (as we've blogged about before - e.g. here. Nonlinear phenomena - like some percolation. Taking a mathematical...

Systems and Signals Group. Our group studies disorder in Nature with an emphasis on networks and signals. Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Sunday, 23 September 2012. Organizing networks using their dense regions. Many systems in fields ranging from biology to sociology, to politics and finance can be represented as networks. For example, in protein interaction networks. A taxonomy of networks. For example, a Facebook network for Caltech is ...

Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Friday, 6 June 2014. Evolutionary competition within our cells: the maths of mitochondrial DNA. Iain, Joerg, Nick. We found that one mtDNA type beat another in different ways across many different tissue type. Here, the height (or depth) of a column represents how much the mtDNA from a wild mouse win...

Each of these blog articles introduces one of our recent published papers for the general reader. Thursday, 16 July 2015. Generations of generating functions in dividing cells. Cell biology is a unpredictable world, as we've written about before. Tools called "generating functions" are useful in this situation. A generating function is a mathematical function (like G(z) = z. In cells that divide (lik...
