    Abstract Prediction of effector proteins is of paramount importance due to their crucial role as first-line invaders while establishing a pathogen-host interaction, often leading to infection of the host. Prediction of T6 effector proteins is a new challenge since the discovery of T6 Secretion System and the unique nature of the particular secretion system. In this paper, we have first designed a Python-based standalone tool, called PyPredT6, to predict T6 effector proteins. A total of 873 unique features has been extracted from the peptide and nucleotide sequences of the experimentally verified effector proteins. Based on these features and using machine learning algorithms, we have performed

    Abstract Background: Wnt signal transduction pathway (Wnt STP) is a crucial intracellular pathway mainly due to its participation in important biological processes, functions, and diseases, i.e., embryonic development, stem-cell management, and human cancers among others. This is why Wnt STP is one of the highest researched signal transduction pathways. Study and analysis of its origin, expansion and gradual development to the present state as found in humans is one aspect of Wnt research. The pattern of development and evolution of the Wnt STP among various species is not clear till date. A phylogenetic tree created from Wnt STPs of multiple species may address this issue.
    Results: In this respect, we construct a phylogenetic tree from modules of Wnt STPs of diverse species. We term it as the 'Module Tree'. A module is nothing but a self-sufficient minimally-dependent subset of the original Wnt STP. Authenticity of the module tree is tested by comparing it with the two reference trees.
    Conclusions: The module tree performs better than an alternative phylogenetic tree constructed from pathway topology of Wnt STPs. Moreover, an evolutionary emergence pattern of the Wnt gene family is created and the module tree is tallied with it to showcase the significant resemblances.

    Abstract The human brain and its temporal behavior correlated with development, structure, and function is a complex natural system even for its own kind. Coding and automation are necessary for modeling, analyzing and understanding the 86.1 ± 8.1 billion neurons, an almost equal number of non-neuronal glial cells, and the neuronal networks of the human brain comprising about 100 trillion connections. ‘Computational neuroscience’ which is heavily dependent on biology, physics, mathematics and computation addresses such problems while the archival, retrieval and merging of the huge amount of generated data in the form of clinical records, scientific literature, and specialized databases are carried out by ‘neuroinformatics’ approaches. Neuroinformatics is thus an interface between computer science and experimental neuroscience. This article provides an introduction to computational neuroscience and neuroinformatics fields along with their state-of-the-art tools, software, and resources. Furthermore, it describes a few innovative applications of these fields in predicting and detecting brain network organization, complex brain disorder diagnosis, large-scale 3D simulation of the brain, brain–computer, and brain-to-brain interfaces. It provides an integrated overview of the fields in a non-technical way, appropriate for broad general readership. Moreover, the article is an updated unified resource of the existing knowledge and sources for researchers stepping into these fields.

    Abstract The human Wnt signaling pathway contains 57 genes communicating among themselves by 70 experimentally established associations, as given in the KEGG/PATHWAY database. It is responsible for a variety of crucial biological functions such as regulation of cell fate determination, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Abnormal behavior of its members causes numerous types of human cancers, dramatic changes in bone mass density that lead to diseases such as osteoporosis-pseudo-glioma syndrome, Van-Buchem disease, skeletal malformation, autosomal dominant sclerosteosis, and osteoporosis type I syndromes. So far, single genes have been investigated for their disease-causing properties, and single diseases have been traced backwards to discover foul-play of the system pathways. Differential expression of the whole genome has been mapped by microarray. But how all the genes involved in a pathway affect each other in single/multiple disease state(s) and whether the presence of one disease state makes a person prone to another kind of disease(s) (i.e., co-morbidity among diseases associated with a certain important biological pathway) is still unknown. We have developed a human Wnt signaling pathway diseasome and analyzed it for finding answers to such questions. Data used in constructing the diseasome can be downloaded from the publicly accessible webserver http://www.isical.ac.in/-rajat/diseasome/index.php.

    Abstract Signalling pathways are complex biochemical networks responsible for regulation of numerous cellular functions. These networks function by serial and successive interactions among a large number of vital biomolecules and chemical compounds. For deciphering and analysing the underlying mechanism of such networks,a modularized study is quite helpful. Here we propose an algorithm for modularization of calcium signalling pathway of H. sapiens . The idea that "a node whose function is dependent on maximum number of other nodes tends to be the center of a sub network" is used to divide a large signalling network into smaller sub networks. Inclusion of node(s) into sub networks(s) is dependent on the outdegree of the node(s). Here outdegree of a node refers to the number of relations of the considered node lying outside the constructed sub network. Node(s) having more than c relations lying outside the expanding sub network have to be excluded from it. Here c is a specified variable based on user preference, which is finally fixed during adjustments of created sub networks, so that certain biological significance can be conferred on them.

    Abstract Signaling pathways are large complex biochemical networks. It is difficult to analyze the underlying mechanism of such networks as a whole. In the present article, we have proposed an algorithm for modularization of signal transduction pathways. Unlike studying a signaling pathway as a whole, this enables one to study the individual modules (less complex smaller units) easily and hence to study the entire pathway better. A comparative study of modules belonging to different species (for the same signaling pathway) has been made, which gives an overall idea about development of the signaling pathways over the taken set of species of calcium and MAPK signaling pathways. The superior performance, in terms of biological significance, of the proposed algorithm over an existing community finding algorithm of Newman [Newman MEJ. Modularity and community structure in networks. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2006;103(23):8577-82] has been demonstrated using the aforesaid pathways of H. sapiens.
