Finding motifs in the twilight zone
We introduce the notion of a multiprofile and use it for finding subtle motifs in DNA sequences. Multiprofiles generalize the notion of a profile and allow one to detect subtle co...

Fine-tuning structural RNA alignments in the twilight zone
Background: A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score ...

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...

Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment
Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...

Touring protein fold space with Dali/FSSP
The FSSP database and its new supplement, the Dali Domain Dictionary, present a continuously updated classification of all known 3D protein structures. The classification is deriv...
