Background: In sequence analysis the multiple alignment builds the fundament of all proceeding analyses. Errors in an alignment could strongly influence all succeeding analyses an...
Abstract. Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is one of the most basic and central tasks for many studies in modern biology. In this paper, we present a new progressive alignment alg...
Background: The analysis of the promoter sequence of genes with similar expression patterns is a basic tool to annotate common regulatory elements. Multiple sequence alignments ar...
Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...
Motivation: Since the whole genome sequences for many species are currently available, computational predictions of RNA secondary structures and computational identifications of t...
