PICS-Ord: Unlimited Coding of Ambiguous Regions by Pairwise Identity and Cost Scores Ordination
Background: We present a novel method to encode ambiguously aligned regions in fixed multiple sequence alignments by ‘Pairwise Identity and Cost Scores Ordination’ (PICS-Ord)....

Using 3D Hidden Markov Models that explicitly represent spatial coordinates to model and compare protein structures
Background: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have proven very useful in computational biology for such applications as sequence pattern matching, gene-finding, and structure prediction...

Detection of Correlations in tRNA Sequences with Structural Implications
Using a flexible representation of biological sequences, we have performed a comparative analysis of 1208 known tRNA sequences. We believe we our technique is a more sensitive met...

A functional hierarchical organization of the protein sequence space
Background: It is a major challenge of computational biology to provide a comprehensive functional classification of all known proteins. Most existing methods seek recurrent patte...

A Million-Fold Speed Improvement in Genomic Repeats Detection
This paper presents a novel, parallel algorithm for generating top alignments. Top alignments are used for finding internal repeats in biological sequences like proteins and gene...
