Partitioned optimization algorithms for multiple sequence alignment
Multiple sequence alignment is an important and difficult problem in molecular biology and bioinformatics. In this paper, we propose a partitioning approach that significantly impr...

QOMA2: Optimizing the alignment of many sequences
Abstract—We consider the problem of aligning multiple protein sequences with the goal of maximizing the SP (Sum-of-Pairs) score, when the number of sequences is large. The QOMA (...

A more efficient approximation scheme for tree alignment
We present a new polynomial time approximation scheme (PTAS) for tree alignment, which is an important variant of multiple sequence alignment. As in the existing PTASs in the liter...

Multiple sequence alignment using a GLOCSA guided genetic algorithm
This paper introduces GLOCSA as a new scoring function to rate multiple sequence alignments. It is intended to be simple, considering the whole alignment at once and reflecting t...
