Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment
Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...

Exploiting conserved structure for faster annotation of non-coding RNAs without loss of accuracy
Motivation: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)--functional RNA molecules not coding for proteins--are grouped into hundreds of families of homologs. To find new members of an ncRNA gene fam...
