Background: Protein sequence alignments have become indispensable for virtually any evolutionary, structural or functional study involving proteins. Modern sequence search and com...
Background: Detecting homology between remotely related protein families is an important problem in computational biology since the biological properties of uncharacterized protei...
Background: Aligning homologous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) correctly in terms of sequence and structure is an unresolved problem, due to both mathematical complexity and imperfect s...
