Background: There is an increasing demand to assemble and align large-scale biological sequence data sets. The commonly used multiple sequence alignment programs are still limited...
Background: Proteins that evolve from a common ancestor can change functionality over time, and it is important to be able identify residues that cause this change. In this paper ...
Background: Multiple sequence alignments are a fundamental tool for the comparative analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. However, large data sets are no longer manageable for v...

Background: While most multiple sequence alignment programs expect that all or most of their input is known to be homologous, and penalise insertions and deletions, this is not a ...
Background: Determining beforehand specific positions to align (anchor points) has proved valuable for the accuracy of automated multiple sequence alignment (MSA) software. This f...
Background: A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score ...

The accuracy and scalability of multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of DNAs and proteins have long been and are still important issues in bioinformatics. To rapidly construct a reas...
Multiple sequence alignment has been a useful methodin the study of molecular evolution and sequence-structure relationships. This paper presents a newmethodfor multiple sequence ...
Multiple sequence alignment of distantly related viral proteins remains a challenge to all currently available alignment methods. The hidden Markovmodel approach offers a new,flex...
Several computeralgorithms for discovering patterns in groups of protein sequences are in use that are basedon fitting the parametersof a statistical model to a group of related s...
