algorithms for
sequence analyis
Currently we are working on
- multiple sequence alignment
- we are currently at the design phase of a multiple sequence analysis tool, based on a fundamentally new approach to the problem; the algorithm works with iteratively constructed higher-order alphabets.
- palindromicity analysis
- Many functionally relevant DNA motifs are palindromic.
We think that DNA palindromicity analysis could be a useful approach for pattern discovery, specifically for transcriptional regulator discovery.
We have tested ...
- molecular mimicry detection
- New high performance cloud computation allows to face the search for shared local amino acid motifs comparing a huge amount of sequences. Viral receptors are between the targets that we want to explore using a new algorithm that we have designed for this task.
