Background: Combinatorial regulation of transcription factors (TFs) is important in determining the complex gene expression patterns particularly in higher organisms. Deciphering ...
Background: Many proposed statistical measures can efficiently compare protein sequence to further infer protein structure, function and evolutionary information. They share the s...
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: Some distance methods are among the most commonly used methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from sequence data. The input to a distance method is a distance m...
Background: The Golden Spike data set has been used to validate a number of methods for summarizing Affymetrix data sets, sometimes with seemingly contradictory results. Much less...
