This article introduces the field of bioinformatics and its importance as a cornerstone of biological research, as well as ...

As the rate of sequencing increases, greater throughput is demanded from read aligners. The full-text minute index is often used to make alignment very fast and memory-efficient, but the approach is ...

In bioinformatics, multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is an NP-hard problem. Nature-inspired approaches can provide an approximate solution compared to conventional approaches. In this article, the MSA ...

Many cellular processes, including transcription and DNA replication, critically depend on chromatin structure, the three-dimensional organization of DNA that includes nucleosome positioning and ...

The declining cost and increasing accessibility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) have led to the permeation of these techniques throughout the life sciences. The sequencing data generated from many ...
