Abstract Motivation The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a new type of coronavirus has been emerging from China and led to thousands of death globally since December 2019. Despite many groups have engaged in studying the newly emerged virus and searching for the treatment of COVID-19, the understanding of the COVID-19 target–ligand interactions represents a key challenge. Herein, we introduce COVID-19 Docking Server, a web server that predicts the binding modes between COVID-19 targets and the ligands including small molecules, peptides and antibodies. Results Structures of proteins involved in the virus life cycle were collected or constructed based on the homologs of coronavirus, and prepared ready for docking. The meta-platform provides a free and interactive tool for the prediction of COVID-19 target–ligand interactions and following drug discovery for COVID-19.

Abstract Motivation Understanding the protein structural context and patterning on proteins of genomic variants can help to separate benign from pathogenic variants and reveal molecular consequences. However, mapping genomic coordinates to protein structures is non-trivial, complicated by alternative splicing and transcript evidence. Results Here we present VarMap, a web tool for mapping a list of chromosome coordinates to canonical UniProt sequences and associated protein 3D structures, including validation checks, and annotating them with structural information.

Abstract Motivation G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical nucleic acid conformations that are widespread in all kingdoms of life and are emerging as important regulators both in RNA and DNA. Recently, two new higher-order architectures have been reported: adjacent interacting G4s, and G4s with stable long loops forming stem-loop structures. As there are no specialized tools to identify these conformations, we developed QPARSE. Results QPARSE can exhaustively search for degenerate potential quadruplex-forming sequences (PQSs) containing bulges and/or mismatches at genomic level, as well as either multimeric or long-looped PQS (MPQS and LLPQS respectively). While its assessment vs. known reference datasets is comparable with the state-of-the-art, what is more interesting is its performance in the identification of MPQS and LLPQS that present algorithms are not designed to search for. We report a comprehensive analysis of MPQS in human gene promoters and the analysis of LLPQS on three experimentally validated case studies from HIV-1, BCL2, and hTERT.

Abstract Pairwise sequence covariations are a signal of conserved RNA secondary structure. We describe a method for distinguishing when lack of covariation signal can be taken as evidence against a conserved RNA structure, as opposed to when a sequence alignment merely has insufficient variation to detect covariations. We find that alignments for several long non-coding RNAs previously shown to lack covariation support do have adequate covariation detection power, providing additional evidence against their proposed conserved structures.

Operating in a dynamic and competitive global market, railway companies have realized many years ago that better management of their logistical operations will enhance their strategic positions on the market. The financial component of daily operations is of utmost importance these days and many companies concluded that maximizing the profit relies on the integration of logistical activities with better income management. This paper presents a system consisting of three components: Ferodata BOX, Ferodata MOBILE, and Ferodata SYS, used to transmit to a web-server the status and operating information of an electric or diesel train. Train information includes data from locomotives, wagons, train driver, route, direction, fuel or electric consumption, speed, etc. All this information is processed in real-time and can be viewed in the web-server application. Additionally, the web-server application could manage and report details that are coming from the wagons, such as valuable information regarding the bogie wear, the identification of the wagons attached to a gasket, and identification the situations in which a wagon or group of wagons comes off the gasket configuration. All information about the status of trains is available on-line and at any moment the person responsible for management can use these data in their work.

Abstract Motivation Due to their special properties, the structures of transmembrane proteins are extremely hard to determine. Several methods exist to predict the propensity of successful completion of the structure determination process. However, available predictors incorporate data of any kind of proteins, hence they can hardly differentiate between crystallizable and non-crystallizable membrane proteins. Results We implemented a web server to simplify running TMCrys prediction method that was developed specifically to separate crystallizable and non-crystallizable membrane proteins.

Abstract Motivation Anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification system is very important for drug utilization and studies. Correct prediction of the 14 classes in the first level for given drugs is an essential problem for the study on such system. Several multi-label classifiers have been proposed in this regard. However, only two of them provided the web servers and their performance was not very high. On the other hand, although some rest classifiers can provide better performance, they were built based on some prior knowledge on drugs, such as information of chemical–chemical interaction and chemical ontology, leading to limited applications. Furthermore, provided codes of these classifiers are almost inaccessible for pharmacologists. Results In this study, we built a simple web server, namely iATC-FRAKEL. This web server only required the SMILES format of drugs as input and extracted their fingerprints for making prediction. The performance of the iATC-FRAKEL was much higher than all existing web servers and was comparable to the best multi-label classifier but had much wider applications. Such web server can be visited at http://cie.shmtu.edu.cn/iatc/index. Availability and implementation The web server is available at http://cie.shmtu.edu.cn/iatc/index.
