Scaling Laws and Similarity Detection in Sequence Alignment with Gaps
We study the problem of similarity detection by sequence alignment with gaps, using a recently established theoretical framework based on the morphology of alignment paths. Alignm...

Optimizing amino acid substitution matrices with a local alignment kernel
Background: Detecting remote homologies by direct comparison of protein sequences remains a challenging task. We had previously developed a similarity score between sequences, cal...

Improving pairwise sequence alignment accuracy using near-optimal protein sequence alignments
Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...

Automatic detection of anchor points for multiple sequence alignment
Background: Determining beforehand specific positions to align (anchor points) has proved valuable for the accuracy of automated multiple sequence alignment (MSA) software. This f...
