Hidden Markov models for detecting remote protein homologies.

K Karplus, C Barrett, R Hughey - Bioinformatics (Oxford …, 1998 - academic.oup.com
MOTIVATION: A new hidden Markov model method (SAM-T98) for finding remote homologs
of protein sequences is described and evaluated. The method begins with a single target …

Assignment of homology to genome sequences using a library of hidden Markov models that represent all proteins of known structure

Sequence comparisons using multiple sequences detect three times as many remote homologues as pairwise methods

J Park, K Karplus, C Barrett, R Hughey… - Journal of molecular …, 1998 - Elsevier
The sequences of related proteins can diverge beyond the point where their relationship can
be recognised by pairwise sequence comparisons. In attempts to overcome this limitation, …
