Background: Biologists are often interested in performing a simple database search to identify proteins or genes that contain a well-defined sequence pattern. Many databases do no...
The research in information extraction (IE) regards the generation of wrappers that can extract particular information from semistructured Web documents. Similar to compiler gener...
Alternative splicing (AS) is a major mechanism to generate protein diversity. A single gene might generate hundreds or even thousands of different proteins. Recently, powerful lar...
Joint mining of multiple data sets can often discover interesting, novel, and reliable patterns which cannot be obtained solely from any single source. For example, in cross-marke...
Multiple sequence alignment represents a class of powerful bioinformatics tools with many uses in computational biology ranging from discovery of characteristic motifs and conserv...
