Detecting MicroRNA Targets by Linking Sequence, MicroRNA and Gene Expression Data
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been discovered as an important class of non-coding RNA genes that play a major role in regulating gene expression, providing a means to control th...

Structural Alignment of Pseudoknotted RNA
In this paper, we address the problem of discovering novel non-coding RNA (ncRNA) using primary sequence, and secondary structure conservation, focusing on ncRNA families with pseu...

Leveraging Information Across HLA Alleles/Supertypes Improves Epitope Prediction
We present a model for predicting HLA class I restricted CTL epitopes. In contrast to almost all other work in this area, we train a single model on epitopes from all HLA alleles a...

Maximal Accurate Forests from Distance Matrices
Abstract. We present a fast converging method for distance-based phylogenetic inference, which is novel in two respects. First, it is the only method (to our knowledge) to guarante...

Detecting the Dependent Evolution of Biosequences
Abstract. A probabilistic graphical model is developed in order to detect the dependent evolution between different sites in biological sequences. Given a multiple sequence alignme...

A Probabilistic Model for Gene Content Evolution with Duplication, Loss, and Horizontal Transfer
We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gen...
