Strategies for Multiple Sequence Alignment
We present an overview of multiple sequence alignments to outline the practical consequences for the choices among different techniques and parameters. We begin with a discussion of the scoring methods for quantifying the quality of a multiple sequence ...

Spark-based Parallelization of Basic Local Alignment Search Tool [PDF]
Sequence alignment is a key link of bioinformatics analysis. The basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) is a popular sequence alignment algorithm with high accuracy. However, the BLAST is inefficient in comparing and analyzing a massive amount of gene

Sequence‐to‐sequence alignment using a pendulum
Analysing two or more video sequences of dynamic scenes typically requires time synchronisation between sequences, where this alignment is not always possible using hardware.

Accelerated large-scale multiple sequence alignment
Background Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a fundamental analysis method used in bioinformatics and many comparative genomic applications. Prior MSA acceleration attempts with reconfigurable computing have only addressed the first stage of ...

Using structure to explore the sequence alignment space of remote homologs. [PDF]
Protein structure modeling by homology requires an accurate sequence alignment between the query protein and its structural template. However, sequence alignment methods based on dynamic programming (DP) are typically unable to generate accurate ...

ClipKIT: A multiple sequence alignment trimming software for accurate phylogenomic inference
Highly divergent sites in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), which can stem from erroneous inference of homology and saturation of substitutions, are thought to negatively impact phylogenetic inference.

Testing robustness of relative complexity measure method constructing robust phylogenetic trees for Galanthus L. Using the relative complexity measure [PDF]
Background: Most phylogeny analysis methods based on molecular sequences use multiple alignment where the quality of the alignment, which is dependent on the alignment parameters, determines the accuracy of the resulting trees.

MUSCLE: a multiple sequence alignment method with reduced time and space complexity
BackgroundIn a previous paper, we introduced MUSCLE, a new program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences, giving a brief summary of the algorithm and showing MUSCLE to achieve the highest scores reported to date on four alignment accuracy
