Choosing the right representation for a problem is important. In this article we introduce a linear genetic programming approach for motif discovery in protein families, and we al...
Background: For the purposes of finding and aligning noncoding RNA gene- and cis-regulatory elements in multiple-genome datasets, it is useful to be able to derive multi-sequence ...
Background: A fundamental problem when trying to define the functional relationships between proteins is the difficulty in quantifying functional similarities, even when well-stru...

Background: As a consequence of the evolutionary process, data collected from related species tend to be similar. This similarity by descent can obscure subtler signals in the dat...
Abstract-- Biological sequences from different species are called orthologs if they evolved from a sequence of a common ancestor species and they have the same biological function....
