"The tale of two protein domain problems,
1) Novel HMM dissection,
2) Very early evolution."
Abstract:
The first tale is of a modified form of 'designed' Hidden Markov Models
for multi-domain proteins to identify the domain fold classes and their
probable boundaries. While the second tale is of a combination
of multi-alignment, profile and statistical approaches to identify
'signature' protein domains or blocks that suggest a major
evolutionary event nearly 2.2 Gyrs ago.
