A multi-expert system for the automatic detection of protein domains from sequence information
We describe a novel method for detecting the domain structure of a protein from sequence information alone. The method is based on analyzing multiple sequence alignments that are ...

The Megaprior Heuristic for Discovering Protein Sequence Patterns
Several computeralgorithms for discovering patterns in groups of protein sequences are in use that are basedon fitting the parametersof a statistical model to a group of related s...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...

Number sequence representation of protein structures based on the second derivative of a folded tetrahedron sequence
A protein is a sequence of amino-acids of length typically less than 1, 000, where there are 20 kinds of amino-acids. In nature, each protein is folded into a well-defined three-d...

Genome comparison without alignment using shortest unique substrings
Background: Sequence comparison by alignment is a fundamental tool of molecular biology. In this paper we show how a number of sequence comparison tasks, including the detection o...
