H2r: Identification of evolutionary important residues by means of an entropy based analysis of multiple sequence alignments
Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...

ProfNet, a method to derive profile-profile alignment scoring functions that improves the alignments of distantly related protei
Background: Profile-profile methods have been used for some years now to detect and align homologous proteins. The best such methods use information from the background distributi...

Evolving Molecules for Drug Design Using Genetic Algorithms via Molecular Trees
We present a new representation for a genetic algorithm to evolve molecular structures representing possible drugs that bind to a given protein target receptor. Our representation...

Connect the dots: exposing hidden protein family connections from the entire sequence tree
Motivation: Mapping of remote evolutionary links is a classic computational problem of much interest. Relating protein families allows for functional and structural inference on u...

Motif kernel generated by genetic programming improves remote homology and fold detection
Background: Protein remote homology detection is a central problem in computational biology. Most recent methods train support vector machines to discriminate between related and ...
