1. Algorithms for building and evaluating multiple sequence alignments
Abstract : The alignment of biological sequences is crucial for the transfer of annotation from model organisms to humans. Pairwise alignment of sequences can reveal homology while multiple alignments are used to characterize protein families and elucidate their evolutionary history. READ MORE

2. Prediction, modeling, and refinement of protein structure
Abstract : Accurate predictions of protein structure are important for understanding many processes in cells. The interactions that govern protein folding and structure are complex, and still far from completely understood. However, progress is being made in many areas. Here, efforts to improve the overall quality of protein structure models are described. READ MORE

3. Software Tools and Algorithms for Shotgun Sequence Assembly
Abstract : During the last ten years, a genomics revolution has changed the ways biological research is carried out. The draft sequence of the human genome is available, as well as the sequence of 84 other completed genomes. READ MORE

4. Evolutionary Approaches to Sequence Alignment
Abstract : Molecular evolutionary biology allows us to look into the past by analyzing sequences of amino acids or nucleotides. These analyses can be very complex, often involving advanced statistical models of sequence evolution to construct phylogenetic trees, study the patterns of natural selection and perform a number of other evolutionary studies.

5. Analysis of Nucleotide Variations in Non-human Primates
Abstract : Many of our closest relatives, the primates, are endangered and could be extinct in a near future. To increase the knowledge of non-human primate genomes, and at the same time acquire information on our own genomic evolution, studies using high-throughput technologies are applied, which raises the demand for large amounts of high quality DNA.
