A novel series of compositionally biased substitution matrices for comparing Plasmodium proteins
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 ...

Subfamily specific conservation profiles for proteins based on n-gram patterns
Background: A new algorithm has been developed for generating conservation profiles that reflect the evolutionary history of the subfamily associated with a query sequence. It is ...
