Detection of distant evolutionary relationships between protein families using theory of sequence profile-profile comparison
Background: Detection of common evolutionary origin (homology) is a primary means of inferring protein structure and function. At present, comparison of protein families represent...

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...

Back-Translation for Discovering Distant Protein Homologies
Background: Frameshift mutations in protein-coding DNA sequences produce a drastic change in the resulting protein sequence, which prevents classic protein alignment methods from ...

On single and multiple models of protein families for the detection of remote sequence relationships
Background: The detection of relationships between a protein sequence of unknown function and a sequence whose function has been characterised enables the transfer of functional a...

Local comparison of protein structures highlights cases of convergent evolution in analogous functional sites
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...
