XSTREAM: A practical algorithm for identification and architecture modeling of tandem repeats in protein sequences
Background: Biological sequence repeats arranged in tandem patterns are widespread in DNA and proteins. While many software tools have been designed to detect DNA tandem repeats (...

A classification approach for genotyping viral sequences based on multidimensional scaling and linear discriminant analysis
Background: Accurate classification into genotypes is critical in understanding evolution of divergent viruses. Here we report a new approach, MuLDAS, which classifies a query seq...

Statistical power of phylo-HMM for evolutionarily conserved element detection
Background: An important goal of comparative genomics is the identification of functional elements through conservation analysis. Phylo-HMM was recently introduced to detect conse...

Phylogenetic reconstruction of ancestral character states for gene expression and mRNA splicing data
Background: As genomes evolve after speciation, gene content, coding sequence, gene expression, and splicing all diverge with time from ancestors with close relatives. A minimum e...

PseudoGeneQuest - Service for identification of different pseudogene types in the human genome
Background: Pseudogenes, nonfunctional copies of genes, evolve fast due the lack of evolutionary pressures and thus appear in several different forms. PseudoGeneQuest is an online...
