In vitro motility assays commonly used in biophysical studies on protein-motors now fulfill the demand described above. Using the in vitro motility assays, we report collective motion and vortex emergence of microtubules (MTs) driven by some subspecies of axonemal dyneins and find that under some experimental conditions, the collective motion of MTs can display nematic order, millimeter-scale meandering streams or millimeter-scale vortices. To explore the conditions causing such phase-shifts, we examine the effects of mechanical properties of dyneins on the pattern formation.","PeriodicalId":415083,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128278732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microtubule, a self-organization system assembles itself into functional units by attaching to cellular structures. Modeling microtubule self-organization is of interest as microtubule forms a network of protein filaments that is critical to many processes in eukaryotic cells. In this paper, we developed a modeling algorithm starting from alpha and beta tubulins as basic building block in the self-organization of microtubule. The developed algorithm and the necessary steps are described in detail. The preliminary results obtained from the model demonstrate that a stable self-organization conformation is possible for a microtubule.","PeriodicalId":415083,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130217303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce an extension of the standard framework and define the median complex as a construction to recover signal of the frequency and scale of reticulate evolution by inferring and imputing putative ancestral states. Finally, we apply our methods to two datasets from phylogenetics.
