Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of common molecular subsequences.

TL;DR: This letter extends the heuristic homology algorithm of Needleman & Wunsch (1970) to find a pair of segments, one from each of two long sequences, such that there is no other Pair of segments with greater similarity (homology).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of biosequences

TL;DR: In this paper, the homology measure of Needleman and Wunsch is shown to be equivalent to the distance measure of Sellers, under general conditions, and a new algorithm is given to find similar pairs of segments, one segment from each sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ancient regulatory-protein family of WD-repeat proteins

TL;DR: WD proteins are made up of highly conserved repeating units usually ending with Trp-Asp (WD), and criteria for grouping such proteins into functional subfamilies are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The WD repeat: a common architecture for diverse functions.

TL;DR: The solution of the three-dimensional structure of one WD- repeat protein and the assumption that the structure will be common to all members of this family has allowed subfamilies of WD-repeat proteins to be defined on the basis of probable surface similarity.
