Background: As a consequence of the evolutionary process, data collected from related species tend to be similar. This similarity by descent can obscure subtler signals in the dat...
Background: Comparative genomics aims to detect signals of evolutionary conservation as an indicator of functional constraint. Surprisingly, results of the ENCODE project revealed...
Background: There are many important clustering questions in computational biology for which no satisfactory method exists. Automated clustering algorithms, when applied to large,...
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...
