Multiple sequence alignment is an important problem in computational biology. We study the Maximum Trace formulation introduced by Kececioglu [?]. We first phrase the problem in ...

Protein structure prediction aims to determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins form their amino acid sequences. When a protein does not have similarity (homology) to a...
Motivation: Sequence-based methods for phylogenetic reconstruction from (nucleic acid) sequence data are notoriously plagued by two effects: homoplasies and alignment errors. Larg...

Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...
Background: Molecular database search tools need statistical models to assess the significance for the resulting hits. In the classical approach one asks the question how probable...
