Degenerate Primer Design via Clustering
This paper describes a new strategy for designing degenerate primers for a given multiple alignment of amino acid sequences. Degenerate primers are useful for amplifying homologou...

ProfNet, a method to derive profile-profile alignment scoring functions that improves the alignments of distantly related protei
Background: Profile-profile methods have been used for some years now to detect and align homologous proteins. The best such methods use information from the background distributi...

Projections for fast protein structure retrieval
Background: In recent times, there has been an exponential rise in the number of protein structures in databases e.g. PDB. So, design of fast algorithms capable of querying such d...

The Homology Kernel: A Biologically Motivated Sequence Embedding into Euclidean Space
— Part of the challenge of modeling protein sequences is their discrete nature. Many of the most powerful statistical and learning techniques are applicable to points in a Euclid...
