Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...

Background: There have been many algorithms and software programs implemented for the inference of multiple sequence alignments of protein and DNA sequences. The "true" ...

We propose an algorithm for estimating the common secondary structure, alignment, and posterior base pairing probabilities for two RNA sequences. A definition of structural align...

Background: Accurate sequence alignments are essential for homology searches and for building three-dimensional structural models of proteins. Since structure is better conserved ...
Motivation: The quality of progressive sequence alignments strongly depends on the accuracy of the individual pairwise alignment steps since gaps that are introduced at one step c...
