Vikki Velasquez is a researcher and writer who has managed, coordinated, and directed various community and nonprofit organizations. She has conducted in-depth research on social and economic issues ...

In bioinformatics, one of the most important problems is comparing biological sequences such as DNA, RNA, or proteins. Since these sequences are often very long, manual comparison is practically ...

This package contains Python bindings for parasail. Parasail is a SIMD C (C99) library containing implementations of the Smith-Waterman (local), Needleman-Wunsch (global), and semi-global pairwise ...

Viromics produces millions of viral genomes and fragments annually, overwhelming traditional sequence comparison methods. Here we introduce Vclust, an approach that determines average nucleotide ...

During the director’s commentary for Monty Python And The Holy Grail, co-director Terry Gilliam offers a fascinating insight into the creative differences between himself and the film’s other director ...

In a recent project organized by BioinformHER, I worked on Module 2 Task 3, which involved the alignment and comparative analysis of insulin gene sequences from humans, chimpanzees, and mice. The goal ...

Homology modeling is a widely used computational technique for predicting the three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins based on known templates,evolutionary relationships to provide structural ...

This survey paper investigates how personalized learning offered by Large Language Models (LLMs) could transform educational experiences. We explore Knowledge Editing Techniques (KME), which guarantee ...

DNA sequences of nearly any desired composition, length, and function can be synthesized to alter the biology of an organism for purposes ranging from the bioproduction of therapeutic compounds to ...

This important study addresses the problem of detecting weak similarity between protein sequences, a procedure commonly used to infer homology or assign putative functions to uncharacterized proteins.
