For as long as biologists have been computing alignments of sequences, the question of what values to use for scoring substitutions and gaps has persisted. While some choices for s...
The assignment of orthologous genes between a pair of genomes is a fundamental and challenging problem in comparative genomics, since many computational methods for solving various...

Abstract. Pharmacogenomics and clinical studies that measure the temporal expression levels of patients can identify important pathways and biomarkers that are activated during dis...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been discovered as an important class of non-coding RNA genes that play a major role in regulating gene expression, providing a means to control th...
In this paper, we address the problem of discovering novel non-coding RNA (ncRNA) using primary sequence, and secondary structure conservation, focusing on ncRNA families with pseu...
In this paper, we present CONTRAlign, an extensible and fully automatic framework for parameter learning and protein pairwise sequence alignment using pair conditional random field...
We present a model for predicting HLA class I restricted CTL epitopes. In contrast to almost all other work in this area, we train a single model on epitopes from all HLA alleles a...

Abstract. We present a fast converging method for distance-based phylogenetic inference, which is novel in two respects. First, it is the only method (to our knowledge) to guarante...

Abstract. A probabilistic graphical model is developed in order to detect the dependent evolution between different sites in biological sequences. Given a multiple sequence alignme...
