Background: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) ? using a variety of string kernels ? have been successfully applied to biological sequence classification problems. While SVMs achieve ...
Recognition of motifs in multiple unaligned sequences provides an insight into protein structure and function. The task of discovering these motifs is very challenging because mos...
