Abstract excerpt
Nullomers and nullpeptides are short DNA or amino acid sequences that are absent from a genome or proteome, respectively. One potential cause for their absence could be their having a detrimental impact on an organism. RESULTS: Here, we identify all possible nullomers and nullpeptides in the genomes and proteomes of thirty eukaryotes and demonstrate that a significant proportion of these sequences are under...
