A reinforced merging methodology for mapping unique peptide motifs in members of protein families
Background: Members of a protein family often have highly conserved sequences; most of these sequences carry identical biological functions and possess similar three-dimensional (...

A Quantile Method for Sizing Optical Maps
Optical mapping is an integrated system for the analysis of single DNA molecules. It constructs restriction maps (noted as “optical map”) from individual DNA molecules present...

Identification and characterization of subfamily-specific signatures in a large protein superfamily by a hidden Markov model app
Background: Most profile and motif databases strive to classify protein sequences into a broad spectrum of protein families. The next step of such database studies should include ...

Learning biophysically-motivated parameters for alpha helix prediction
Background: Our goal is to develop a state-of-the-art protein secondary structure predictor, with an intuitive and biophysically-motivated energy model. We treat structure predict...
