Bioinformatics algorithms, from those "ancient" ones found only in textbooks to the state-of-the-art ones currently being used and discussed You'll understand those algorithms, and be able to ...

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 ...

Transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors are Xanthomonas proteins that are translocated into the plant cell through the type III secretion system and directed to the nucleus where they commandeer ...

The terms “bioinformatics” and “computational biology” are only about 20 years old – their first appearance in the Medline database may have been as the keywords for the 1990 article describing the ...

Autonomous helicopter flight is widely regarded to be a highly challenging control problem. As helicopters are highly unstable and exhibit complicated dynamical behavior, it is particularly difficult ...

Dynamic programming algorithms guarantee to find the optimal alignment between two sequences. For more than a few sequences, exact algorithms become computationally impractical, and progressive ...
