[ Your Name ] would like to inform you about this article on Complexity Digest 2005.49 - 03 http://comdig.unam.mx/index.php?id_issue=2005.49#23250 05/12/08 [ Your Message ] Second Notice: If you did not reply to the survey on the first round and might have a few moments to help this time, please do the survey. Important planning will flow from your input. Thanks to all....Dean and Gottfried TO OUR READERS: WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK: Complexity Digest was founded in 1999 to promote networking of the complexity community by using the Internet to link to electronic publications related to Complexity. And we may have contributed to its present status where complexity, multi-disciplinary, dynamic studies are accepted parts of any academic field and are used to solve problems....although often with a different lexicon. Are we serving our market...you, the readers? In bringing webcasts to you of meetings we cannot all attend, does that help you? Are we pointing out literature that you want to explore more thoroughly? And most important to those of us who work each week to bring ComDig to you, what should we be doing now to strengthen the Complexity network? You can help by participating in this short survey......thanks. http://www.surveymonkey.com/Users/48763454/Surveys/666681488644/82D2B4E1 Dean and Gottfried This survey information is confidential and will be used in aggregate only. Discovering Hidden Viral Piracy, Bioinformatics Excerpts: Viruses and developers of anti-inflammatory therapies share a common interest in proteins that manipulate the immune response. Large double-stranded DNA viruses acquire host proteins to evade host defense mechanisms. Hence, viral pirated proteins may have a therapeutic potential. Although dozens of viral piracy events have already been identified, we hypothesized that sequence divergence impedes the discovery of many others. We developed a method to assess the number of viral/human homologs and discovered that at least 917 highly diverged homologs are hidden in low-similarity alignment hits that are usually ignored.
