Bioinformatics researchers who perform alignments of long protein sequences face a difficult choice: They can get accurate results in hours (sometimes days), or quick results if they're willing to ...
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) lies at the heart of comparative genomics, structural biology and evolutionary inference. By arranging three or more nucleotide or amino acid sequences in a matrix, ...
Even though the recent advances in ‘complete genomics’ revealed the previously inaccessible genomic regions, analysis of variations in centromeres and other extra-long tandem repeats (ETRs) faces an ...
