Progressive sequence model refinement by means of iterative searches is an effective technique for high sensitivity database searches and is currently employed in popular tools s...
PSI-BLAST remains one of the popular tools for searching remote homologs in sequence databases. We recently demonstrated that hybrid alignment can function as the alignment core f...
Background: The Smith-Waterman algorithm for local sequence alignment is more sensitive than heuristic methods for database searching, but also more time-consuming. The fastest ap...
When searching databases of nucleotide or protein sequences, finding a local alignment of two sequences is one of the main tasks. Since the sizes of available databases grow const...
Music retrieval systems for Western tonal music digital libraries have to consider rhythmic, timbral, melodic and harmonic information. Most existing retrieval systems only take i...
