Abstract: A common and cost-effective mechanism to identify the functionalities, structures, or relationships between species is multiple-sequence alignment, in which DNA/RNA/protein sequences are ...

Edit distance—a classical problem in computer science—has received ongoing attention from both practitioners and theoreticians. Given two strings A and B, the edit distance is the minimum number of ...

NeighborNet constructs phylogenetic networks to visualize distance data. It is a popular method used in a wide range of applications. While several studies have investigated its mathematical features, ...

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is an essential cornerstone in bioinformatics, which can reveal the potential information in biological sequences, such as function, evolution and structure. MSA is ...

SWaligner and NWaligner are factory fucntions, you can create many aligners with different parameters and re-use each one multiple times. An aligner is configurable with the following parameters (all ...

TAPER is a tool that looks for errors in small species-specific stretches of the multiple sequence alignments. TAPER uses a two-dimensional outlier detection algorithm that seeks to find what parts of ...

In recent years, there has been an explosive increase in the amount of bioinformatics data produced, but data are not information. The purpose of bioinformatics research is to obtain information with ...
