Background: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a useful tool in bioinformatics. Although many MSA algorithms have been developed, there is still room for improvement in accuracy...
Obtaining an accurate multiple alignment of protein sequences is a difficult computational problem for which many heuristic techniques sacrifice optimality to achieve reasonable r...
Background: Multiple sequence alignment is the foundation of many important applications in bioinformatics that aim at detecting functionally important regions, predicting protein...
