Background: Detection of common evolutionary origin (homology) is a primary means of inferring protein structure and function. At present, comparison of protein families represent...
Background: In a previous paper, we introduced MUSCLE, a new program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences, giving a brief summary of the algorithm and showing MUS...
Aligning DNA and protein sequences is a core technique in molecular biology. Often, it is desirable to include partial prior knowledge and conditions in an alignment. Going beyond...
Aligning multiple DNA or protein sequences is a fundamental step in the analyses of phylogeny, homology and molecular structure. Heuristic algorithms are applied because optimal mu...
A new statistical method called "bilingual chunking" for structure alignment is proposed. Different with the existing approaches which align hierarchical structures like...
