Aligning multiple nucleotide sequences is a prerequisite for many if not most comparative sequence analyses in evolutionary biology. These alignments are often recognized as representing the homology ...

Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a cornerstone of computational biology, facilitating the exploration of functional, structural and evolutionary relationships among biological sequences.

Bioinformatics researchers who perform alignments of long protein sequences face a difficult choice: They can get accurate results in hours (sometimes days), or quick results if they're willing to ...

Listen to Gabor Marth explain bam.iobio and its features on the Scope Radio. (SALT LAKE CITY) - Bam.iobio is the first app of its kind that allows scientists to analyze genome sequence data on their ...

The gapped local alignment score of two random sequences follows a Gumbel distribution. If computers could estimate the parameters of the Gumbel distribution within one second, the use of arbitrary ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has ravaged the globe for more than a year, with an increasing emergence of new variants of concern that stand to undermine current measures aimed at ...

In a new article, researchers explain their work on computer-assisted approaches towards surveillance and consequent design of drugs and vaccines to combat the growth and spread of the Zika virus. The ...
