Background: Recent advances in proteomic technologies have enabled us to create detailed protein-protein interaction maps in multiple species and in both normal and diseased cells...
Background: The detection of conserved motifs in promoters of orthologous genes (phylogenetic footprints) has become a common strategy to predict cis-acting regulatory elements. S...
Background: Phylogenetic analysis can be used to divide a protein family into subfamilies in the absence of experimental information. Most phylogenetic analysis methods utilize mu...
Background: Accurate sequence alignments are essential for homology searches and for building three-dimensional structural models of proteins. Since structure is better conserved ...
Background: Insertions and deletions (indels) represent a common type of sequence variations, which are less studied and pose many important biological questions. Recent research ...
