Background: Expressed sequence tag (EST) collections are composed of a high number of single-pass, redundant, partial sequences, which need to be processed, clustered, and annotat...
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...
Currently, most of the discovered biological and biomedical knowledge is available as textual data in scientific papers. And, locating and curating information about a genomic enti...
