The Multiple Sequence Alignment Problem in Biology [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 1988
Summary: The study and comparison of sequences of characters from a finite alphabet is relevant to various areas of science, notably molecular biology. The measurement of sequence similarity involves the consideration of the different possible sequence alignments in order to find an optimal one for which the ``distance'' between sequences is minimum ...

Genome annotation: from sequence to biology

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2001
The genome sequence of an organism is an information resource unlike any that biologists have previously had access to. But the value of the genome is only as good as its annotation. It is the annotation that bridges the gap from the sequence to the biology of the organism.

A Sequence for Biology Studies

Science, 1966
As another parent of two children who have bad high school biology (both had the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study Blue Version course), I would like to comment on Branson's letter (28 Oct.). My children have both come away, instilled with enthusiasm for the study of biology, with the feeling that it's a science, that it's understandable ...

Evolutionary sequences in mammalian reproductive biology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2020
AbstractBroad biological aspects and accepted evolutionary sequences may offer useful guidance towards a comprehensive explanation of the function of mammalian ovaries and oviducts and their vital contribution to the events of fertilization. Cooling of the preovulatory follicles before ovulation may well have its roots in the primitive stages of ...

Structural biology of metal-binding sequences

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2002
NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography in conjunction with extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, have contributed to the elucidation of the structural biology of protein-mediated mechanisms of heavy metal homeostasis. Among the most striking aspects of these investigations are the remarkable similarity of metal-ion-transport and ...

Comparative biology: beyond sequence analysis

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2007
Comparative analysis is a fundamental tool in biology. Conservation among species greatly assists the detection and characterization of functional elements, whereas inter-species differences are probably the best indicators of biological adaptation. Traditionally, comparative approaches were applied to the analysis of genomic sequences.
