A long standing problem in structural bioinformatics is to determine the three-dimensional (3-
D) structure of a protein when only a sequence of amino acid residues is given. Many …

DNA has many physical and chemical properties that make it a powerful material for
molecular constructions at the nanometer length scale. In particular, its ability to form …

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Fourth Edition introduces concepts, principles, and
methods for mining patterns, knowledge, and models from various kinds of data for diverse …

A comprehensive update of the leading algorithms text, with new material on matchings in
bipartite graphs, online algorithms, machine learning, and other topics. Some books on …

Background In a previous paper, we introduced MUSCLE, a new program for creating
multiple alignments of protein sequences, giving a brief summary of the algorithm and …

Amino acid replacement matrices are an essential basis of protein phylogenetics. They are
used to compute substitution probabilities along phylogeny branches and thus the likelihood …

We survey the problem of comparing labeled trees based on simple local operations of
deleting, inserting, and relabeling nodes. These operations lead to the tree edit distance …

Evolutionary Computation for Optimization and Modeling is an introduction to evolutionary
computation, a field which includes genetic algorithms, evolutionary programming, evolution …

Classic similarity measures of strings are longest common subsequence and Levenshtein
distance (ie, The classic edit distance). A classic similarity measure of curves is dynamic …

Thirty years ago, the most likely place to find a biologist was standing at a laboratory bench,
peering down a microscope, surrounded by flasks of chemicals and petri dishes full of …
