Abstract. In order to guarantee that the optimal motif is found, traditional pattern-driven approaches perform an exhaustive search over all candidate motifs of length l. We develo...
Bioinformaticists use the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to characterize an unknown sequence by comparing it against a database of known sequences, thus detecting evolu...
Abstract. We design an effective shape prior embedded human silhouettes extraction algorithm. Human silhouette extraction is found challenging because of articulated structures, po...
A novel method to model and predict the location and orientation of alpha helices in membrane- spanning proteins is presented. It is based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) with an a...
