Identifying Chimerism in Proteins Using Hidden Markov Models of Codon Usage
Protein chimerism is a phenomenon involving the combination of multiple ancestral sequences into a single, multi-domain protein through evolution. We propose a novel method for de...

Sequence similarity is more relevant than species specificity in probabilistic backtranslation
Background: Backtranslation is the process of decoding a sequence of amino acids into the corresponding codons. All synthetic gene design systems include a backtranslation module....

Score-based prediction of genomic islands in prokaryotic genomes using hidden Markov models
Background: Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is considered a strong evolutionary force shaping the content of microbial genomes in a substantial manner. It is the difference in spee...

FISH - family identification of sequence homologues using structure anchored hidden Markov models
The FISH server is highly accurate in identifying the family membership of domains in a query protein sequence, even in the case of very low sequence identities to known homologue...

A model-independent approach to infer hierarchical codon substitution dynamics
Background: Codon substitution constitutes a fundamental process in molecular biology that has been studied extensively. However, prior studies rely on various assumptions, e.g. r...
