Predicting the beta-helix fold from protein sequence data
A method is presented that uses b-strand interactions to predict the parallel right-handed b-helix super-secondary structural motif in protein sequences. A program called BetaWrap...

Deconvolving sequence variation in mixed DNA populations
We present an original approach to identifying sequence variants in a mixed DNA population from sequence trace data. The heart of the method is based on parsimony: given a wildtyp...

A dimensionality reduction approach to modeling protein flexibility
Proteins are involved either directly or indirectly in all biological processes in living organisms. It is now widely accepted that conformational changes of proteins can critical...

Probabilistic hierarchical clustering for biological data
Biological data, such as gene expression profiles or protein sequences, is often organized in a hierarchy of classes, where the instances assigned to "nearby" classes in...

From promoter sequence to expression: a probabilistic framework
We present a probabilistic framework that models the process by which transcriptional binding explains the mRNA expression of different genes. Our joint probabilistic model unifie...

Revealing protein structures: a new method for mapping antibody epitopes
A recent idea for determining the three-dimensional structure of a protein uses antibody recognition of surface structure and random peptide libraries to map antibody epitope comb...
