The exponential growth of databases that contains biological information (such as protein and DNA data) demands great efforts to improve the performance of computational platforms...
Many problems in areas such as Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, or Bioinformatic involve the generic task of sequence labeling. In many cases, the aim is to assi...
— The Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming method for determining optimal local alignments between nucleotide or protein sequences. However, it suffers from quadrati...
Motivation: Since the whole genome sequences for many species are currently available, computational predictions of RNA secondary structures and computational identifications of t...
Background: Transcription Factors (TFs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are key players for gene expression regulation in higher eukaryotes. In the last years, a large amount of bioinforma...
