CoSMoS: Conserved Sequence Motif Search in the proteome
Background: With the ever-increasing number of gene sequences in the public databases, generating and analyzing multiple sequence alignments becomes increasingly time consuming. N...

Pripper: prediction of caspase cleavage sites from whole proteomes
Background: Caspases are a family of proteases that have central functions in programmed cell death (apoptosis) and inflammation. Caspases mediate their effects through aspartate-...

Pairwise covariance adds little to secondary structure prediction but improves the prediction of non-canonical local structure
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...

A discriminative method for family-based protein remote homology detection that combines inductive logic programming and proposi
Background: Remote homology detection is a hard computational problem. Most approaches have trained computational models by using either full protein sequences or multiple sequenc...
