Homologousproteins do not necessarily exhibit identical biochemicalfunction. Despitethis fact, local or global sequence similarity is widely used as an indication of functional id...
DNA sequence analysis depends on the accurate assembly of fragment reads for the determination of a consensus sequence. This report examines the possibility of analyzing multiple,...
A novel method to model and predict the location and orientation of alpha helices in membrane- spanning proteins is presented. It is based on a hidden Markov model (HMM) with an a...

A Bayesian procedure for the simultaneous alignment and classification of sequences into subclasses is described. This Gibbs sampling algorithm iterates between an alignment step ...
This workfocuses on the inference of evolutionary relationships in protein superfamilies, and the uses of these relationships to identify keypositions in the structure, to infer a...
A hidden Markov model of signal peptides has been developed. It contains submodels for the N-terminal part, the hydrophobic region, and the region around the cleavage site. For kn...
Wedescribe a prototype system (Poly-X) for assisting an expert user in modelingprotein repeats. Poly-X reduces the large numberof degrees of freedomrequired to specify a protein m...
