Clustering protein sequences with a novel metric transformed from sequence similarity scores and sequence alignments with neural
Background: The sequencing of the human genome has enabled us to access a comprehensive list of genes (both experimental and predicted) for further analysis. While a majority of t...

Clustered Sequence Representation for Fast Homology Search
We present a novel approach to managing redundancy in sequence databanks such as GenBank. We store clusters of near-identical sequences as a representative union-sequence and a se...

Back-Translation for Discovering Distant Protein Homologies
Background: Frameshift mutations in protein-coding DNA sequences produce a drastic change in the resulting protein sequence, which prevents classic protein alignment methods from ...
