The range minimum query problem, RMQ for short, is to preprocess a sequence of real numbers A[1 . . . n] for subsequent queries of the form: “Given indices i, j, what is the ind...
Background: High throughput technologies often require the retrieval of large data sets of sequences. Retrieval of EMBL or GenBank entries using keywords is easy using tools such ...
Integration of heterogeneous data types is a challenging problem, especially in biology, where the number of databases and data types increase rapidly. Amongst the problems that o...
