Phylogenetic profiles of proteins − strings of ones and zeros encoding respectively the presence and absence of proteins in a group of genomes − have recently been used to iden...
Infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with the development of cervical cancer. HPV can be classified to highand low-risk type according to its malignant potenti...
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...
We proposed a new approach to compare profiles when the correlations among attributes can be represented as a tree. To account for these correlations, the profile is extended with...
Protein function prediction is an active area of research in bioinformatics. And yet, transfer of annotation on the basis of sequence or structural similarity remains widely used ...
