Background: The alignment of multiple protein sequences is a fundamental step in the analysis of biological data. It has traditionally been applied to analyzing protein families f...
Background: In a previous report (La et al., Proteins, 2005), we have demonstrated that the identification of phylogenetic motifs, protein sequence fragments conserving the overal...
The tridimensional structure of a protein is constrained or stabilized by some local interactions between distant residues of the protein, such as disulfide bonds, electrostatic i...
Background: Existing hidden Markov model decoding algorithms do not focus on approximately identifying the sequence feature boundaries. Results: We give a set of algorithms to com...
We propose a learning algorithm for a variable memory length Markov process. Human communication, whether given as text, handwriting, or speech, has multi characteristic time scal...
