A major part of molecular biology deals with analyzing and comparing the genetic material (DNA, RNA, proteins, chromosomes, genes, etc.) of different organisms. Enormous amounts of information have to ...

Abstract: String kernels are attractive data analysis tools for analyzing string data. Among them, alignment kernels are known for their high prediction accuracies in string classifications when ...

Remote homology detection between protein sequences is a central problem in computational biology. Discriminative methods involving support vector machines (SVMs) are currently the most effective ...
