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...
COMPASS is a method for homology detection and local alignment construction based on the comparison of multiple sequence alignments (MSAs). The method derives numerical profiles f...

Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...
Background: The relationship between divergence of amino-acid sequence and divergence of function among homologous proteins is complex. The assumption that homologs share function...
