Background: Although homology-based methods are among the most widely used methods for predicting the structure and function of proteins, the question as to whether interface sequ...
During the last few years new functionalities of RNA have been discovered, renewing the need for computational tools for their analysis. To this respect, multiple sequence alignmen...
Background: Existing sequence alignment algorithms assume that similarities between DNA or amino acid sequences are linearly ordered. That is, stretches of similar nucleotides or ...
One of the most commonly used tools by computational biologists is some form of sequence alignment. Heuristic alignment algorithms developed for speed and their multiple results s...
Following advances in biotechnology, many new whole genome sequences are becoming available every year. A lot of useful information can be derived from the alignment and compariso...
