Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) lies at the heart of comparative genomics, structural biology and evolutionary inference. By arranging three or more nucleotide or amino acid sequences in a matrix, ...
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) pervasively engage in essential molecular functions, yet they are often poorly conserved as assessed by sequence alignment. To explore the seeming paradox of ...
