Evaluation Measures of Multiple Sequence Alignments
Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are frequently used in the study of families of protein sequences or DNA/RNA sequences. They are a fundamental tool for the understanding of th...

Noisy: Identification of problematic columns in multiple sequence alignments
Motivation: Sequence-based methods for phylogenetic reconstruction from (nucleic acid) sequence data are notoriously plagued by two effects: homoplasies and alignment errors. Larg...

Can Clustal-style progressive pairwise alignment of multiple sequences be used in RNA secondary structure prediction?
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...

A Novel Approach to Remote Homology Detection: Jumping Alignments
We describe a new algorithm for protein classi cation and the detection of remote homologs. The rationale is to exploit both vertical and horizontal information of a multiple alig...

A discriminative method for protein remote homology detection and fold recognition combining Top-n-grams and latent semantic ana
Background: Protein remote homology detection and fold recognition are central problems in bioinformatics. Currently, discriminative methods based on support vector machine (SVM) ...
