A Statistical Theory of Sequence Alignment with Gaps
Astatistical theory of local alignmentalgorithms with gaps is presented. Both the linear and logarithmic phases, as well as the phase transition separating the two phases, are des...

Protein Image Alignment via Piecewise Affine Transformations
Abstract We present a new approach for aligning families of 2D gels. Instead of choosing one of the gels as reference and performing pairwise alignment, we construct an ideal gel t...
