Near optimal multiple alignment within a band in polynomial time
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Because of its notorious difficulties, aligning sequences within a constant band (c-diagonal) is a ...

Inverse Sequence Alignment from Partial Examples
When aligning biological sequences, the choice of parameter values for the alignment scoring function is critical. Small changes in gap penalties, for example, can yield radically ...

Gapped alignment of protein sequence motifs through Monte Carlo optimization of a hidden Markov model
Background: Certain protein families are highly conserved across distantly related organisms and belong to large and functionally diverse superfamilies. The patterns of conservati...

Learning Models for Aligning Protein Sequences with Predicted Secondary Structure
Accurately aligning distant protein sequences is notoriously difficult. A recent approach to improving alignment accuracy is to use additional information such as predicted seconda...
