Abstract—We consider the problem of aligning multiple protein sequences with the goal of maximizing the SP (Sum-of-Pairs) score, when the number of sequences is large. The QOMA (...
Background: Protein sequence clustering has been widely used as a part of the analysis of protein structure and function. In most cases single linkage or graph-based clustering al...

Background: The inference of homology from statistically significant sequence similarity is a central issue in sequence alignments. So far the statistical distribution function un...
Background: Protein alignments are an essential tool for many bioinformatics analyses. While sequence alignments are accurate for proteins of high sequence similarity, they become...
