Background: Until today, analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences has been the de-facto gold standard for the assessment of phylogenetic relationships among prokaryotes. How...
Background: Structural and functional research often requires the computation of sets of protein structures based on certain properties of the proteins, such as sequence features,...
Keyword search in relational databases (RDBs) has been extensively studied recently. A keyword search (or a keyword query) in RDBs is specified by a set of keywords to explore the...
Abstract. In 6], G. Myers describes a bit-vector algorithm to compute the edit distance between strings. The algorithm converts an input sequence to an output sequence in a paralle...
Advanced database systems face a great challenge raised by the emergence of massive, complex structural data in bioinformatics, chem-informatics, and many other applications. The ...
