Abstract--Sequence similarity search is a common and repeated task in molecular biology. The rapid growth of genomic databases leads to the need of speeding up the treatment of thi...
This paper presents a seed-based algorithm for intensive DNA sequence comparison. The novelty comes from the way seeds are used to efficiently generate small ungapped alignments ...
Once a new gene has been sequenced, it must be verified whether or not it is similar to previously sequenced genes. In many cases, the organization that sequenced a potentially n...
Background: The alignment of multiple protein sequences is a fundamental step in the analysis of biological data. It has traditionally been applied to analyzing protein families f...
