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...

A novel series of compositionally biased substitution matrices for comparing Plasmodium proteins
Background: The most common substitution matrices currently used (BLOSUM and PAM) are based on protein sequences with average amino acid distributions, thus they do not represent ...

Word correlation matrices for protein sequence analysis and remote homology detection
Background: Classification of protein sequences is a central problem in computational biology. Currently, among computational methods discriminative kernel-based approaches provid...
