GASP: Gapped Ancestral Sequence Prediction for proteins
Background: The prediction of ancestral protein sequences from multiple sequence alignments is useful for many bioinformatics analyses. Predicting ancestral sequences is not a sim...

nGASP - the nematode genome annotation assessment project
Background: While the C. elegans genome is extensively annotated, relatively little information is available for other Caenorhabditis species. The nematode genome annotation asses...

Supervised multivariate analysis of sequence groups to identify specificity determining residues
Background: Proteins that evolve from a common ancestor can change functionality over time, and it is important to be able identify residues that cause this change. In this paper ...

Improving Prediction of Zinc Binding Sites by Modeling the Linkage Between Residues Close in Sequence
Abstract. We describe and empirically evaluate machine learning methods for the prediction of zinc binding sites from protein sequences. We start by observing that a data set consi...
