High quality protein sequence alignment by combining structural profile prediction and profile alignment using SABERTOOTH
Background: Protein alignments are an essential tool for many bioinformatics analyses. While sequence alignments are accurate for proteins of high sequence similarity, they become...

Two Variations on Ontology Alignment Evaluation: Methodological Issues
Evaluation of ontology alignments is in practice done in two ways: (1) assessing individual correspondences and (2) comparing the alignment to a reference alignment. However, this ...

Grammar-based distance in progressive multiple sequence alignment
Background: We propose a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) algorithm and compare the alignment-quality and execution-time of the proposed algorithm with that of existing algorithm...

Considerations in the identification of functional RNA structural elements in genomic alignments
Background: Accurate identification of novel, functional noncoding (nc) RNA features in genome sequence has proven more difficult than for exons. Current algorithms identify and s...

Local sequence alignments statistics: deviations from Gumbel statistics in the rare-event tail
Background: The optimal score for ungapped local alignments of infinitely long random sequences is known to follow a Gumbel extreme value distribution. Less is known about the imp...
