Background: Most non-coding RNA families exert their function by means of a conserved, common secondary structure. The Rfam data base contains more than five hundred structurally ...
Background: The prediction of protein structure can be facilitated by the use of constraints based on a knowledge of functional sites. Without this information it is still possibl...
—Inferring latent structures from observations helps to model and possibly also understand underlying data generating processes. A rich class of latent structures are the latent ...
We describe a design pattern for writing programs that traverse data structures built from rich mutually-recursive data types. Such programs often have a great deal of “boilerpl...
We propose novel thinning conditions for grayscale 3D images that do not rely on image thresholding or segmentation. The resulting grayscale skeletonization routine extracts a top...
