Background: Phytochromes are photoreceptors, discovered in plants, that control a wide variety of developmental processes. They have also been found in bacteria and fungi, but for...
Background: The opportunities for bacterial population genomics that are being realised by the application of parallel nucleotide sequencing require novel bioinformatics platforms...
Background: Orthology analysis is an important part of data analysis in many areas of bioinformatics such as comparative genomics and molecular phylogenetics. The ever-increasing ...
A common task in biological research is to predict function for proteins by comparing sequences between proteins of known and unknown function. This is often done using pair-wise ...
Background: Detecting homology between remotely related protein families is an important problem in computational biology since the biological properties of uncharacterized protei...
