Background: Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) analyses are a fundamental tool for gene identification in organisms. Given a preliminary EST sample from a certain library, several sta...
Background: The availability of various high-throughput experimental and computational methods allows biologists to rapidly infer functional relationships between genes. It is oft...
Background: Cluster analysis, and in particular hierarchical clustering, is widely used to extract information from gene expression data. The aim is to discover new classes, or su...
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...
Background: There exist many segmentation techniques for genomic sequences, and the segmentations can also be based on many different biological features. We show how to evaluate ...
