Background: In a previous report (La et al., Proteins, 2005), we have demonstrated that the identification of phylogenetic motifs, protein sequence fragments conserving the overal...
Finding motifs in biological sequences is one of the most intriguing problems for string algorithms designers due to, on the one hand, the numerous applications of this problem in...
Abstract—The exact relationship between protein active centers and protein functions is unclear even after decades of intensive study. To improve the functional prediction abilit...
Background: As more and more genomes are sequenced, comparative genomics approaches provide a methodology for identifying conserved regulatory elements that may be involved in gen...
Humans have an innate ability to perceive symmetry, but it is not obvious how to automate this powerful insight. In this paper the mathematical theory of Frieze and wallpaper grou...
