p. atlantica subsp. kurdica, with the local name of baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in kurdistan, iran.  the identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. a pcr approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved nbs-lrr (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (r) gene...

MOTIVATION The similarity of two biological sequences has traditionally been assessed within the well-established framework of alignment. Here we focus on the task of identifying functional relationships between cis-regulatory sequences that are non-orthologous or greatly diverged. 'Alignment-free' measures of sequence similarity are required in this regime. RESULTS We investigate the use of ...

Biological pairwise sequence alignment can be used as a method for arranging two biological characters to identify regions of similarity. This operation has elicited considerable interest due its significant influence on various critical aspects life (e.g., identifying mutations in coronaviruses). Sequence over large databases cannot yield results within reasonable time, power, and cost. heuris...
