Binding Site Prediction for Protein-Protein Interactions and Novel Motif Discovery using Re-occurring Polypeptide Sequences
Background: While there are many methods for predicting protein-protein interaction, very few can determine the specific site of interaction on each protein. Characterization of t...

Genotype calling in tetraploid species from bi-allelic marker data using mixture models
Background: Automated genotype calling in tetraploid species was until recently not possible, which hampered genetic analysis. Modern genotyping assays often produce two signals, ...

A Beta-Mixture Model for Dimensionality Reduction, Sample Classification and Analysis
Background: Patterns of genome-wide methylation vary between tissue types. For example, cancer tissue shows markedly different patterns from those of normal tissue. In this paper ...

A Simple Approach to Ranking Differentially Expressed Gene Expression Time Courses through Gaussian Process Regression
Background: The analysis of gene expression from time series underpins many biological studies. Two basic forms of analysis recur for data of this type: removing inactive (quiet) ...

Structator: fast index-based search for RNA sequence-structure patterns
Background: The secondary structure of RNA molecules is intimately related to their function and often more conserved than the sequence. Hence, the important task of searching dat...
