Bioinformatics explained

It is part of our philosophy that we strive to spread out knowledge about bioinformatics – especially knowledge about how bioinformatics can be used to increase the quality and speed of research related to molecular biology and biochemistry.

One of our contributions is the publication of short form papers on well-defined bioinformatics subjects. On the right hand side of this page, we have assembled several such papers.

The newest is about Multiple Sequence Alignments

Multiple alignments are at the core of bioinformatical analysis. Often the first step in a chain of bioinformatical analyses is to construct a multiple alignment of a number of homologous nucleotide or protein sequences. However, despite their frequent use, the development of multiple alignment algorithms remains one of the algorithmically most challenging areas in bioinformatical research.
