A tree-based conservation scoring method for short linear motifs in multiple alignments of protein sequences
Background: The structure of many eukaryotic cell regulatory proteins is highly modular. They are assembled from globular domains, segments of natively disordered polypeptides and...

Improved Phylogenetic Motif Detection Using Parsimony
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...

Total sequence decomposition distinguishes functional modules, "molegos" in apurinic/apyrimidinic endonucleases
Background: Total sequence decomposition, using the web-based MASIA tool, identifies areas of conservation in aligned protein sequences. By structurally annotating these motifs, t...

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...
