Choosing the right representation for a problem is important. In this article we introduce a linear genetic programming approach for motif discovery in protein families, and we al...
Background: The identification of a consensus RNA motif often consists in finding a conserved secondary structure with minimum free energy in an ensemble of aligned sequences. How...
Background: One important goal of structural bioinformatics is to recognize and predict the interactions between protein binding sites and RNA. Recently, a comprehensive analysis ...

We consider the problem of finding pairs of short patterns such that, in a given input sequence of length n, the distance between each pair’s patterns is at least α. The proble...
In this paper we investigate the general problem of discovering recurrent patterns that are embedded in categorical sequences. An important real-world problem of this nature is mo...
