Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...
Many areas of modern biology are concerned with the management, storage, visualization, comparison, and analysis of networks. For instance, networks are used to model signal trans...
Background: Manual curation of biological databases, an expensive and labor-intensive process, is essential for high quality integrated data. In this paper we report the implement...
Background: Bacterial promoters, which increase the efficiency of gene expression, differ from other promoters by several characteristics. This difference, not yet widely exploite...
In recent years, homology-based and signal-based methods have been proposed for predicting the subcellular localization of proteins. While it has been known that homology-based me...
