  • Methods and apparatus for protein sequence analysis
    Patent number: 8032347
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media, signals and data structures for protein sequence analysis are disclosed. A method includes identifying, from among a first group of aligned protein sequences having at least a threshold degree of alignment with a first protein sequence, a second group of at least one of the aligned sequences having at least one insertion or deletion (“indel”) relative to the first protein sequence satisfying a predefined condition. The apparatus may include a processor circuit configured to carry out the method.
