Transmembrane helix prediction using amino acid property features and latent semantic analysis
Background: Prediction of transmembrane (TM) helices by statistical methods suffers from lack of sufficient training data. Current best methods use hundreds or even thousands of f...

Tandem mass spectrometry data quality assessment by self-convolution
Background: Many algorithms have been developed for deciphering the tandem mass spectrometry (MS) data sets. They can be essentially clustered into two classes. The first performs...

160-fold acceleration of the Smith-Waterman algorithm using a field programmable gate array (FPGA)
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...
