Degenerate Primer Design via Clustering
This paper describes a new strategy for designing degenerate primers for a given multiple alignment of amino acid sequences. Degenerate primers are useful for amplifying homologou...

Modeling sequence and function similarity between proteins for protein functional annotation
A common task in biological research is to predict function for proteins by comparing sequences between proteins of known and unknown function. This is often done using pair-wise ...

HMM-ModE - Improved classification using profile hidden Markov models by optimising the discrimination threshold and modifying e
Background: Profile Hidden Markov Models (HMM) are statistical representations of protein families derived from patterns of sequence conservation in multiple alignments and have b...

Fine-tuning structural RNA alignments in the twilight zone
Background: A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score ...

Multiple structure alignment and consensus identification for proteins
Background: An algorithm is presented to compute a multiple structure alignment for a set of proteins and to generate a consensus (pseudo) protein which captures common substructu...
