I am a computational biologist with a background in biology, not computers. My PhD work was on gene prediction and comparative genomics but my current research is in systems biology, specifically protein-protein interaction networks.

What were the mammal ancestors like 65 million years ago? Should that be "mesoZoic"? |

Where is the line between Anaerobic and Aerobic? Welcome to biology.SE. Your answer, while interesting, does not address the question asked: "I am wondering how to classify respiration that uses the Citric acid cycle, but consumes a nitrite/ate or sulfite/ate instead of O2. Is that anaerobic or aerobic?" |

Can the RNA in the HIV virus make viral enzymes without entering the nucleus? Are you asking whether the viral RNA can be translated directly into protein without being reverse transcribed and incorporated into the host cells's DNA? |

What does “cellular” mean in this context? @Shummy, this is getting way off topic but I imagine your dictionary had "porous" as a possible synonym of "cellular". When talking about fabrics or clothes, cellular can mean something "knitted so as to form holes" (from NOAD). Porous could be taken a synonym of cellular in that, very specific, context but is not relevant here. |

Extreme examples of protein translation/use coupling/decoupling? @bobthejoe, it is not similar. The OP is asking about cases where a protein is functional just after translation or, conversely, long after it. |

Scoring sequence against position weight matrix @Bitwise, all I am saying is that the summ is still sufficient to score the match. Said sum will not, of course, be a probability but it will be maximized at the region of the highest sequence similarity. In any case, your answer is much better and you are clearly more knowledgeable on the subject than I so I won't argue the point. |

Does drinking coffee have negative effects? @nico, of course it does, everything is dosage dependent. However, the question was not about what the effect of a specific dose of coffee is, it was about coffee in general. All I said was that caffeine can produce the listed effects. if you can give an answer listing different effects of long term cofee consumption at different doses please do, considering how much of the stuff I drink, I would very much like to read it :). |

Scoring sequence against position weight matrix It shouldn't make a difference, the score for the sequence should still be the sum of the scores at each position. |
