MOTIVATION: Almost all protein residue contact prediction methods rely on the availability of deep multiple sequence alignments (MSAs). However, many proteins from the poorly populated families do not have sufficient number of homologs in the convent...
MOTIVATION: When analyzing viral metagenomic sequences, it is often desired to filter the results of a BLAST analysis by the host species of the virus. VHost-Classifier automates this procedure using a natural language processing algorithm written in...
BACKGROUND: Phages and plasmids are the major components of mobile genetic elements, and fragments from such elements generally co-exist with chromosome-derived fragments in sequenced metagenomic data. However, there is a lack of efficient methods th...
