Stability of multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees: an analysis of ABC-transporter proteins family
Background: Sequence-based phylogeny reconstruction is a fundamental task in Bioinformatics. Practically all methods for phylogeny reconstruction are based on multiple alignments....

Metrics for GO based protein semantic similarity: a systematic evaluation
Background: Several semantic similarity measures have been applied to gene products annotated with Gene Ontology terms, providing a basis for their functional comparison. However,...

GOtcha: a new method for prediction of protein function assessed by the annotation of seven genomes
Background: The function of a novel gene product is typically predicted by transitive assignment of annotation from similar sequences. We describe a novel method, GOtcha, for pred...

Positive Sample Only Learning (PSOL) for Predicting RNA Genes in E. coli
RNA genes lack most of the signals used for protein gene identification. A major shortcoming of previous discriminative methods to distinguish functional RNA (fRNA) genes from oth...

A database of phylogenetically atypical genes in archaeal and bacterial genomes, identified using the DarkHorse algorithm
Background: The process of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is believed to be widespread in Bacteria and Archaea, but little comparative data is available addressing its occurrence ...
