Background: Existing sequence alignment algorithms assume that similarities between DNA or amino acid sequences are linearly ordered. That is, stretches of similar nucleotides or ...
Multiple sequence alignment is a fundamental and very computationally intensive task in molecular biology. MUSCLE, a new algorithm for creating multiple alignments of protein sequ...
Micro-indels are small insertion or deletion events (indels) that occur during genome evolution. The study of micro-indels is important, both in order to better understand the unde...
We propose an algorithm, MusicBLAST, for approximate pattern search/matching on symbolic musical data. MusicBLAST is based on the BLAST algorithm, one of the most commonly used al...
The exponential growth of databases that contains biological information (such as protein and DNA data) demands great efforts to improve the performance of computational platforms...
