We propose a method for finding seeds for the local alignment of two nucleotide sequences. Our method uses randomized algorithms to find approximate seeds. We present a dynamic ...
Abstract-- Biological sequences from different species are called orthologs if they evolved from a sequence of a common ancestor species and they have the same biological function....
Background: The expressed sequence tag (EST) methodology is an attractive option for the generation of sequence data for species for which no completely sequenced genome is availa...
Background: The process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is believed to be widespread in Bacteria and Archaea, but little comparative data is available addressing its occurrence ...
Background: Motif finding algorithms have developed in their ability to use computationally efficient methods to detect patterns in biological sequences. However the posterior cla...
