Background: Determining beforehand specific positions to align (anchor points) has proved valuable for the accuracy of automated multiple sequence alignment (MSA) software. This f...
Background: In recent years, mammalian protein-protein interaction network databases have been developed. The interactions in these databases are either extracted manually from lo...
Background: Sequencing of environmental DNA (often called metagenomics) has shown tremendous potential to uncover the vast number of unknown microbes that cannot be cultured and s...
Background: Pseudogenes, nonfunctional copies of genes, evolve fast due the lack of evolutionary pressures and thus appear in several different forms. PseudoGeneQuest is an online...
Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the use of messagepassing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the perfor...
