Background: Pattern matching is the core of bioinformatics; it is used in database searching, restriction enzyme mapping, and finding open reading frames. It is done repeatedly ov...
Background: Functional genomics involves the parallel experimentation with large sets of proteins. This requires management of large sets of open reading frames as a prerequisite ...
Background: Direct synthesis of genes is rapidly becoming the most efficient way to make functional genetic constructs and enables applications such as codon optimization, RNAi re...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.) strains differ in the number and locations of a transposon-like insertion sequence known as IS6110. Accurate detection of this sequence can be ...

— The way evolution shapes the arrangement of synonymous codons within open reading frames (ORF) for fine tuning mRNA decoding efficiency is not yet understood. Since the ribosom...
Overlapping genes (encoded on the same DNA strand but in different frames) are thought to be rare and, therefore, were largely neglected in the past. In a test set of 800 viruses ...
