Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...
Background: Many current gene prediction methods use only one model to represent proteincoding regions in a genome, and so are less likely to predict the location of genes that ha...

Background: Alignments of homologous DNA sequences are crucial for comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis. However, multiple alignment represents a computationally difficu...
Background: Structural alignment of RNAs is becoming important, since the discovery of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Recent studies, mainly based on various approximations ...
Multiple sequence alignment represents a class of powerful bioinformatics tools with many uses in computational biology ranging from discovery of characteristic motifs and conserv...
