Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...

PADS: Protein Structure Alignment Using Directional Shape Signatures
A novel approach for similarity search on the protein structure databases is proposed. PADS (Protein Alignment by Directional shape Signatures) incorporates the three dimensional ...

The contrasting properties of conservation and correlated phylogeny in protein functional residue prediction
Background: Amino acids responsible for structure, core function or specificity may be inferred from multiple protein sequence alignments where a limited set of residue types are ...

Evaluation of several lightweight stochastic context-free grammars for RNA secondary structure prediction
Background: RNA secondary structure prediction methods based on probabilistic modeling can be developed using stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs). Such methods can readily co...

A tree-based conservation scoring method for short linear motifs in multiple alignments of protein sequences
Background: The structure of many eukaryotic cell regulatory proteins is highly modular. They are assembled from globular domains, segments of natively disordered polypeptides and...
