The International Human Epigenome Consortium: A Blueprint for Scientific Collaboration and Discovery

The International Human Epigenome Consortium (IHEC) coordinates the generation of a catalog of high-resolution reference epigenomes of major primary human cell types. The studies now presented (see the Cell Press IHEC web portal at http://www.cell.com/consortium/IHEC) highlight the coordinated achievements of IHEC teams to gather and interpret comprehensive epigenomic datasets to gain insights in the epigenetic control of cell states relevant for human health and disease

Poster: HORIBALFRE: Higher order residue interactions based ALgorithm for fold REcognition

In an attempt to enhance the potential based fold - recognition methods of remote homologs, we propose a new approach "Higher Order Residue Interaction Based ALgorithm for Fold REcognition (HORIBALFRE)", where we incorporated the potential contributions not just from one-body and two-body terms, but from three body (triplet interactions) and four-body (quadruple interaction) interactions, to implement a new fold recognition method. Core of HORIBALFRE includes the potentials generated from a structure library derived from CAMPASS database of structure based sequence alignment. Currently, the algorithm is applied to the Fischer's dataset. Our preliminary result indicates that inclusion of higher order residue interaction (quadruple) potentials increases the prediction performance. © 2011 IEEE
