We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...
Protein structure comparison is important for elucidation of evolutionary relationships, function and functionally important amino acid residues. We propose Geometric Invariant bas...
Advances in sequencing technologies have equipped researchers with the ability to sequence the collective genome of entire microbial communities commonly referred to as metagenomi...
Partial words, which are sequences that may have some undefined positions called holes, can be viewed as sequences over an extended alphabet A = A ∪ { }, where stands for a hol...
Background: Many algorithms have been developed for deciphering the tandem mass spectrometry (MS) data sets. They can be essentially clustered into two classes. The first performs...
