The distance-profile representation and its application to detection of distantly related protein families
Background: Detecting homology between remotely related protein families is an important problem in computational biology since the biological properties of uncharacterized protei...

Clustering protein sequences with a novel metric transformed from sequence similarity scores and sequence alignments with neural
Background: The sequencing of the human genome has enabled us to access a comprehensive list of genes (both experimental and predicted) for further analysis. While a majority of t...

Using 3D Hidden Markov Models that explicitly represent spatial coordinates to model and compare protein structures
Background: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have proven very useful in computational biology for such applications as sequence pattern matching, gene-finding, and structure prediction...

QOMA2: Optimizing the alignment of many sequences
Abstract—We consider the problem of aligning multiple protein sequences with the goal of maximizing the SP (Sum-of-Pairs) score, when the number of sequences is large. The QOMA (...

Statistical distributions of optimal global alignment scores of random protein sequences
Background: The inference of homology from statistically significant sequence similarity is a central issue in sequence alignments. So far the statistical distribution function un...
