Improving Multi-Relief for Detecting Specificity Residues from Multiple Sequence Alignments
A challenging problem in bioinformatics is the detection of residues that account for protein function specificity, not only in order to gain deeper insight in the nature of functi...

Estimates of statistical significance for comparison of individual positions in multiple sequence alignments
Background: Profile-based analysis of multiple sequence alignments (MSA) allows for accurate comparison of protein families. Here, we address the problems of detecting statistical...

H2r: Identification of evolutionary important residues by means of an entropy based analysis of multiple sequence alignments
Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...

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 ...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...
