We have recently demonstrated (La et al, Proteins, 58:2005) that sequence fragments approximating the overall familial phylogeny, called phylogenetic motifs (PMs), represent a pro...
Background: Total sequence decomposition, using the web-based MASIA tool, identifies areas of conservation in aligned protein sequences. By structurally annotating these motifs, t...
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...
