This paper proposes a hybrid genetic algorithm for multiple sequence alignment. The algorithm evolves guide sequences and aligns input sequences based on the guide sequences. It a...
In this paper, we propose a new rotation-invariant image retrieval system based on steerable pyramids and the concept of angular alignment across scales. First, we define energy-b...
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
The problem of multiple sequence alignment is important for bioinformatics. This problem is widely studied and a popular tool to solve this problem is Clustal X. This work introdu...
This paper describes the participation of the Technical University of Catalonia in the CLEF 2008 Question Answering on Speech Transcripts track. We have participated in the Englis...
