Background: Distance-based methods are popular for reconstructing evolutionary trees thanks to their speed and generality. A number of methods exist for estimating distances from ...
Many important cellular response mechanisms are activated when a peptide binds to an appropriate receptor. In the immune system, the recognition of pathogen peptides begins when th...
Background: Many different aspects of cellular signalling, trafficking and targeting mechanisms are mediated by interactions between proteins and peptides. Representative examples...
Following recent work of Clarkson, we translate the coreset framework to the problems of finding the point closest to the origin inside a polytope, finding the shortest distance...
— Rearrangements of genes and other syntenic blocks have become a topic of intensive study by phylogenists, comparative genomicists, and computational biologists: they are a feat...
