Alignment of DNA and protein sequences is a basic tool in the study of evolutionary, structural and functional relationship among macromolecules. Present sequence alignment methods are somewhat ...

Over the last 10 years, breakthroughs in understanding the genetic instructions passed from parent to offspring have put researchers closer than ever before to efficiently decoding DNA with 100% ...

A recent publication from researchers at the University of Kentucky explains the importance of identifying and understanding how differences between tissues and cells alter gene expression without ...

Algorithms consist of instructions that are carried out (performed) one after another. It is crucial that the steps in an algorithm are performed in the right order - otherwise the algorithm will not ...

Comparing the genomes of different species -- or different members of the same species -- is the basis of a great deal of modern biology. DNA sequences that are conserved across species are likely to ...
