Background: The most common substitution matrices currently used (BLOSUM and PAM) are based on protein sequences with average amino acid distributions, thus they do not represent ...
Background: This paper deals with the preprocessing of protein sequences for supervised classification. Motif extraction is one way to address that task. It has been largely used ...
Background: Sequence comparisons make use of a one-letter representation for amino acids, the necessary quantitative information being supplied by the substitution matrices. This ...
Abstract. Substitution matrices are at the heart of Bioinformatics: sequence alignment, database search, phylogenetic inference, protein family classication are based on Blosum, P...
