Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
Background: We establish that the occurrence of protein folds among genomes can be accurately described with a Weibull function. Systems which exhibit Weibull character can be int...

Similarity-based search has been a key factor for many applications such as multimedia retrieval, data mining, Web search and retrieval, and so on. There are two important issues r...
Gene expression (microarray) data have been used widely in bioinformatics. The expression data of a large number of genes from small numbers of subjects are used to identify inform...
Protein loop structure modeling is regarded as a mini protein folding problem with significant scientific importance. Efficiently sampling the loop conformation space is a key step...
