For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
An important goal in bioinformatics is determining the homology and function of proteins from their sequences. Pairwise sequence similarity algorithms are often employed for this ...
We present some quantitative performance measurements for the computing power of Programmable Active Memories (PAM), as introduced by [2]. Based on Field Programmable Gate Array (...
Background: Orthology analysis is an important part of data analysis in many areas of bioinformatics such as comparative genomics and molecular phylogenetics. The ever-increasing ...
Background: There is increasing interest in the development of computational methods to analyze fluorescent microscopy images and enable automated large-scale analysis of the subc...
