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 ...
Similarity search in sequence databases is of paramount importance in bioinformatics research. As the size of the genomic databases increases, similarity search of proteins in the...
Similarity search and similarity join on strings are important for applications such as duplicate detection, error detection, data cleansing, or comparison of biological sequences....
Background: The genomes of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes display a very strong 11 bp periodic bias in the distribution of their nucleotides. This bias is present throughout a g...
