A Novel Method for Comparative Analysis of DNA Sequences by Ramanujan-Fourier Transform [PDF]
, 2014 Alignment-free sequence analysis approaches provide important alternatives over multiple sequence alignment (MSA) in biological sequence analysis because alignment-free approaches have low computation complexity and are not dependent on high level of sequence identity, however, most of the existing alignment-free methods do not employ true full ...

Topological network alignment uncovers biological function and phylogeny
, 2009 Sequence comparison and alignment has had an enormous impact on our understanding of evolution, biology, and disease. Comparison and alignment of biological networks will likely have a similar impact.

OXBench: A benchmark for evaluation of protein multiple sequence alignment accuracy
BMC Bioinformatics, 2003 Background The alignment of two or more protein sequences provides a powerful guide in the prediction of the protein structure and in identifying key functional residues, however, the utility of any prediction is completely dependent on the accuracy of ...

Sequence alignment and mutual information [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Background: Alignment of biological sequences such as DNA, RNA or proteins is one of the most widely used tools in computational bioscience. All existing alignment algorithms rely on heuristic scoring schemes based on biological expertise. Therefore, these algorithms do not provide model independent and objective measures for how similar two (or more ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Multiple sequence alignment for short sequences [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) has been one of the most important problems in bioinformatics for more decades and it is still heavily examined by many mathematicians and biologists. However, mostly because of the practical motivation of this problem, the research on this topic is focused on aligning long sequences.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

Ancestral sequence alignment under optimal conditions
BMC Bioinformatics, 2005 Background Multiple genome alignment is an important problem in bioinformatics. An important subproblem used by many multiple alignment approaches is that of aligning two multiple alignments. Many popular alignment algorithms for DNA use the sum-of-pairs
