Regular expression pattern matching is widely used in computational biology. Searching through a database of sequences for a motif (a simple regular expression), or its variations...
As an increasing number of eukaryotic genomes are being sequenced, comparative studies aimed at detecting regulatory elements in intergenic sequences are becoming more prevalent. M...
Background: While multiple alignment is the first step of usual classification schemes for biological sequences, alignment-free methods are being increasingly used as alternatives...
