This study provides valuable insights through the elucidation of the first full-length structure of the heterohexameric (MmpS4)₃-(MmpL4)₃ transporter complex from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, advancing ...

We are living in an era where biology has become synonymous with big data due to the ever-increasing amount of data being generated by technologies such as next-generation sequencing. Bioinformatics ...

parasail is a SIMD C (C99) library containing implementations of the Smith-Waterman (local), Needleman-Wunsch (global), and various semi-global pairwise sequence alignment algorithms. Here, ...

Extracellular matrices direct the formation of mineral constituents into self-assembled mineralized tissues. We investigate the protein and mineral constituents to better understand the underlying ...

Homolog detection, finding similar proteins to an unknown protein, is usually the first step in understanding the role and function of that protein. However, if the identity of protein sequences ...

Sequencing and phylogenetic classification have become a common task in human and animal diagnostic laboratories. It is routine to sequence pathogens to identify genetic variations of diagnostic ...

Edit distance—a classical problem in computer science—has received ongoing attention from both practitioners and theoreticians. Given two strings A and B, the edit distance is the minimum number of ...
