Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment
Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...

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...

Graph Alignments: A New Concept to Detect Conserved Regions in Protein Active Sites
: We introduce the novel concept of graph alignment, a generalization of graph isomorphism that is motivated by the commonly used multiple sequence alignments. Graph alignments and...
