Can Clustal-style progressive pairwise alignment of multiple sequences be used in RNA secondary structure prediction?
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...

High quality protein sequence alignment by combining structural profile prediction and profile alignment using SABERTOOTH
Background: Protein alignments are an essential tool for many bioinformatics analyses. While sequence alignments are accurate for proteins of high sequence similarity, they become...

Pairwise covariance adds little to secondary structure prediction but improves the prediction of non-canonical local structure
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...

Boosting Methods for Protein Fold Recognition: An Empirical Comparison
Protein fold recognition is the prediction of protein’s tertiary structure (Fold) given the protein’s sequence without relying on sequence similarity. Using machine learning t...

Improving the quality of protein structure models by selecting from alignment alternatives
Background: In the area of protein structure prediction, recently a lot of effort has gone into the development of Model Quality Assessment Programs (MQAPs). MQAPs distinguish hig...
