Article Synopsis
- An improved draft sequence of the maize genome has been produced, revealing over 32,000 predicted genes, with almost all placed on reference chromosomes.
- The genome consists of 85% transposable elements, which influence gene composition and positioning, including the dynamics of centromeres.
- The study also highlights the roles of methylation-poor regions, transposon insertions, and gene losses in the evolution of maize, providing insights for future research on its domestication and agricultural enhancements.
Summary: We describe ModView, a web application for visualization of multiple protein sequences and structures. ModView integrates a multiple structure viewer, a multiple sequence alignment editor, and a database querying engine. It is possible to interactively manipulate hundreds of proteins, to visualize conservative and variable residues, active and binding sites, fragments, and domains in protein families, as well as to display large macromolecular complexes such as ribosomes or viruses.
