Background: gene identification in genomic DNA sequences by computational methods has become an important task in bioinformatics and computational gene prediction tools are now es...
Motivation: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)--functional RNA molecules not coding for proteins--are grouped into hundreds of families of homologs. To find new members of an ncRNA gene fam...
Background: Sequence comparison is one of the most prominent tools in biological research, and is instrumental in studying gene function and evolution. The rapid development of hi...
