Sequence alignment algorithms form the foundation of comparative genomics, structural biology and evolutionary studies by identifying regions of similarity among nucleotide or protein sequences.

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 ...

Networks are largely used for modelling and analysing a wide range of biological data. As a consequence, many different research efforts have resulted in the introduction of a large number of ...

Intelligent algorithms, faster motion controllers and the latest multi-axis mechanical motion systems allow to reduce the alignment time of photonics components and silicon photonics chips by 99% or ...

A fast active optical photonics alignment system based on a compact motorized XYZ stage (L-505) and a high-speed XYZ piezo scanner (P-616). A high level controller with internal alignment routines ...
