One of the major goals of computational sequence analysis is to find sequence similarities, which could serve as evidence of structural and functional conservation, as well as of ...
Background: Existing biological databases support a variety of queries such as keyword or definition search. However, they do not provide any measure of relevance for the instance...
Background: Until today, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has been the de-facto gold standard for the assessment of phylogenetic relationships among prokaryotes. How...
Background: Phylogenetic profiles record the occurrence of homologs of genes across fully sequenced organisms. Proteins with similar profiles are typically components of protein c...
Analyzing sequence data has become increasingly important recently in the area of biological sequences, text documents, web access logs, etc. In this paper, we investigate the pro...
