    Biotechnology and Food Research, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, FI 31600 Jokioinen, Finland
    Bioinformatics 24:2165-71. 2008
    ..Since the success of the sequence analysis is highly dependent on the reliability of alignments, measures for assessing the quality of alignments are highly requisite...

    Virpi Ahola
    Biotechnology and Food Research, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Jokioinen, Finland
    BMC Bioinformatics 7:484. 2006
    ..Although the automatic construction of a multiple sequence alignment for a set of remotely related sequences cause a very challenging and error-prone task, many downstream analyses still rely heavily on the accuracy of the alignments...

    MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Animal Production Research, Animal Breeding, FIN 31600, Jokioinen, Finland
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:5006-11. 2006
    ..These findings show that the KPL2 gene is important for correct axoneme development and provide insight into abnormal sperm development and infertility disorders...

    Virpi Ahola
    Department of Statistics, FIN 20014 University of Turku, Finland
    Bioinformatics 19:2359-68. 2003
    ..For this reason, the number of estimated emission parameters is often enormous. Focusing the analysis on conserved residues only should increase the accuracy of sequence database search...
