Background: The imprint of natural selection on gene sequences is often difficult to detect. A plethora of methods have been devised to detect genetic changes due to selective pro...

Background: Proteins that are similar in sequence or structure may perform different functions in nature. In such cases, function cannot be inferred from sequence or structural si...
Background: The relationship between divergence of amino-acid sequence and divergence of function among homologous proteins is complex. The assumption that homologs share function...

Background: Probabilistic models for sequence comparison (such as hidden Markov models and pair hidden Markov models for proteins and mRNAs, or their context-free grammar counterp...
Background: Remote homology detection is a hard computational problem. Most approaches have trained computational models by using either full protein sequences or multiple sequenc...
