Background: Identifying cis-regulatory elements is crucial to understanding gene expression, which highlights the importance of the computational detection of overrepresented tran...
Overlapping genes (encoded on the same DNA strand but in different frames) are thought to be rare and, therefore, were largely neglected in the past. In a test set of 800 viruses ...
Background: Repbase is a reference database of eukaryotic repetitive DNA, which includes prototypic sequences of repeats and basic information described in annotations. Repbase al...
Fast, accurate, and scalable search techniques for homology searching of large genomic collections are becoming an increasingly important requirement as genomic sequence collectio...
The nearest- or near-neighbor query problems arise in a large variety of database applications, usually in the context of similarity searching. Of late, there has been increasing ...
