We investigate the decoding problem of Reed-Solomon (RS) Codes, also known as the Polynomial Reconstruction Problem (PR), from a cryptographic hardness perspective. Namely, we dea...
Background: Current protein clustering methods rely on either sequence or functional similarities between proteins, thereby limiting inferences to one of these areas. Results: Her...
Background: The genomes of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes display a very strong 11 bp periodic bias in the distribution of their nucleotides. This bias is present throughout a g...
Background: General protein evolution models help determine the baseline expectations for the evolution of sequences, and they have been extensively useful in sequence analysis an...

We study a new data mining problem concerning the discovery of frequent agreement subtrees (FASTs) from a set of phylogenetic trees. A phylogenetic tree, or phylogeny, is an unorde...
