In this paper we describe a new approach for the well known problem in bioinformatics: Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA). MSA is fundamental task as it represents an essential pla...
Background: Total sequence decomposition, using the web-based MASIA tool, identifies areas of conservation in aligned protein sequences. By structurally annotating these motifs, t...
Background: Alternative splicing is an efficient mechanism for increasing the variety of functions fulfilled by proteins in a living cell. It has been previously demonstrated that...
