The use of sequence alignments for establishing protein homology relationships has an extensive tradition in the field of bioinformatics, and there is an increasing desire for more...
Micro-indels are small insertion or deletion events (indels) that occur during genome evolution. The study of micro-indels is important, both in order to better understand the unde...
Background: Parallel T-Coffee (PTC) was the first parallel implementation of the T-Coffee multiple sequence alignment tool. It is based on MPI and RMA mechanisms. Its purpose is t...
