Background: Advances in automated DNA sequencing technology have accelerated the generation of metagenomic DNA sequences, especially environmental ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) sequen...
Background: There is an increasing demand to assemble and align large-scale biological sequence data sets. The commonly used multiple sequence alignment programs are still limited...
Background: Searching a database of protein structures for matches to a query structure, or occurrences of a structural motif, is an important task in structural biology and bioin...
Incorporating probabilities into the semantics of incomplete databases has posed many challenges, forcing systems to sacrifice modeling power, scalability, or treatment of relatio...
Statistical measures coming from information theory represent interesting bases for image and video processing tasks such as image retrieval and video object tracking. For example...
