Accurately aligning distant protein sequences is notoriously difficult. A recent approach to improving alignment accuracy is to use additional information such as predicted seconda...
Background: Determining beforehand specific positions to align (anchor points) has proved valuable for the accuracy of automated multiple sequence alignment (MSA) software. This f...
Abstract. Automatic transliteration of foreign names is basically regarded as a diminutive clone of the machine translation (MT) problem. It thus follows IBM’s conventional MT mo...
Astatistical theory of local alignmentalgorithms with gaps is presented. Both the linear and logarithmic phases, as well as the phase transition separating the two phases, are des...
Abstract. Sequence alignment is an important task for molecular biologists. Because alignment basically deals with approximate string matching on large biological sequence collecti...
