Choosing the right representation for a problem is important. In this article we introduce a linear genetic programming approach for motif discovery in protein families, and we al...
Recognition of motifs in multiple unaligned sequences provides an insight into protein structure and function. The task of discovering these motifs is very challenging because mos...
Proteins can be grouped into families according to some features such as hydrophobicity, composition or structure, aiming to establish common biological functions. This paper pres...

A genetic algorithm (GA) is utilised to discover known and novel PROSITE-like sequence templates that can be used to classify the sub-cellular location of eukaryotic proteins. Whi...
Background: Protein remote homology detection is a central problem in computational biology. Most recent methods train support vector machines to discriminate between related and ...
