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: There have been many algorithms and software programs implemented for the inference of multiple sequence alignments of protein and DNA sequences. The "true" ...

Background: Deluged by the rate and complexity of completed genomic sequences, the need to align longer sequences becomes more urgent, and many more tools have thus been developed...

Our goal is to fit the multiple instances (or structures) of a generic model existing in data. Here we propose a novel model selection scheme to estimate the number of genuine str...
Abstract. Sequence alignment algorithms have a long standing tradition in bioinformatics. In this paper, we formulate an extension to existing local alignment algorithms: local ali...
