Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

Each sequence is presented as an arc or custom track, with length proportionally mapped. Colored ribbons represent alignment regions between sequences, supporting coloring by similarity or source.

Abstract: The outcome of a Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) can be compactly represented by means of Elastic-Degenerate Strings (ED-strings) by collapsing conserved fragments into standard linear ...

Abstract: Sequence alignment is a crucial tool in biological research. Alignment quality is typically assessed using scores, but these do not guarantee optimality. Estimating the optimal alignment ...
