Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a cornerstone of computational biology, facilitating the exploration of functional, structural and evolutionary relationships among biological sequences.

Now, Robert C. Edgar, an independent researcher in Mill Valley, Calif., has an alternative: a sequencing algorithm that delivers both high accuracy and speed. Edgar calls his new algorithm MUSCLE ...

Courtesy of European Bioinformatics Institute KNOWLEDGE GAPS? Sequence alignments offer clues to both the function and evolution of novel genes. But a bewildering array of algorithms and parameters ...

Application of novel alignment-free sequence descriptors in Zika virus ... through our model where the nucleotides of a sequence are plotted sequentially on a 2-dimensional grid by a set algorithm.

The GENESYS project applied Optalysys’s unique optical processing technology to perform large-scale DNA sequence alignment. "The collaboration with EI has been a great success,” said Dr. Nick New, ...

The recent epidemic of Zika virus infections in South and Latin America has raised serious concerns on its ramifications for the population in the Americas and spread of the virus worldwide. The ...
