Background: Certain protein families are highly conserved across distantly related organisms and belong to large and functionally diverse superfamilies. The patterns of conservati...
— This paper presents an approach to the multiple sequence alignment (MSA) problem by applying genetic algorithms with a reserve selection mechanism. MSA is one of the most funda...
