Since the discovery of computers, bioinformatics and computational biology have been instrumental in a wide range of discoveries in virology. These include early mathematical models of virus-host interaction, and more recently the analysis of viral nucleotide and protein sequences to track their function, epidemiology, and evolution.

Approximate Hashing for Bioinformatics [PDF]
The paper extends ideas from data compression by deduplication to the Bioinformatic field. The specific problems on which we show our approach to be useful are the clustering of a large set of DNA strings and the search for approximate matches of long substrings, both based on the design of what we call an approximate hashing function.

Quantitative method for the assignment of hinge and shear mechanism in protein domain movements [PDF]
Motivation: A popular method for classification of protein domain movements apportions them into two main types: those with a ‘hinge’ mechanism and those with a ‘shear’ mechanism.

Performance Evaluation of Structured and Semi-Structured Bioinformatics Tools: A Comparative Study [PDF]
There is a wide range of available biological databases developed by bioinformatics experts, employing different methods to extract biological data. In this paper, we investigate and evaluate the performance of some of these methods in terms of their ability to efficiently access bioinformatics databases using web-based interfaces.
