Pairwise covariance adds little to secondary structure prediction but improves the prediction of non-canonical local structure
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...

Bayesian modeling of recombination events in bacterial populations
Background: We consider the discovery of recombinant segments jointly with their origins within multilocus DNA sequences from bacteria representing heterogeneous populations of fa...

An empirical analysis of training protocols for probabilistic gene finders
Background: Generalized hidden Markov models (GHMMs) appear to be approaching acceptance as a de facto standard for state-of-the-art ab initio gene finding, as evidenced by the re...

Computing DNA duplex instability profiles efficiently with a two-state model: trends of promoters and binding sites
Background: DNA instability profiles have been used recently for predicting the transcriptional start site and the location of core promoters, and to gain insight into promoter ac...

Robust probabilistic superposition and comparison of protein structures
Background: Protein structure comparison is a central issue in structural bioinformatics. The standard dissimilarity measure for protein structures is the root mean square deviati...
