    E Michael Gertz
    National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, MD, USA
    BMC Biol 4:41. 2006
    ..Until recently, composition-based statistics were available only for protein-protein searches. They are now available as a command line option for recent versions of TBLASTN and as an option for TBLASTN on the NCBI BLAST web server...

    E Michael Gertz
    Computational Biology Branch, National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
    BMC Genomics 10:566. 2009
    ..For example, some of the oligonucleotides align with the transcripts of more than one gene. We decided to check the annotations for all autosomes and the X chromosome systematically using bioinformatics methods...
  4. ncbi Protein database searches using compositionally adjusted substitution matrices
    Stephen F Altschul
    National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA
    FEBS J 272:5101-9. 2005
    ..In a typical database search, at least one of these criteria is satisfied by over half the related sequence pairs. Compositional substitution matrix adjustment is now available in NCBI's protein-protein version of blast...

    National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, NIH, DHHS, Bethesda, MD 20894, USA
    Nucleic Acids Res 34:5966-73. 2006
    ..A version of the BLAST protein database search program, modified to employ this new measure, outperforms the baseline program in both retrieval and statistical accuracy on ASTRAL, a SCOP-based test set...
  7. ncbi A fast and symmetric DUST implementation to mask low-complexity DNA sequences
    Aleksandr Morgulis
    National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, Bethesda, Maryland 20894 USA
    J Comput Biol 13:1028-40. 2006
    ..The new implementation is at least four times faster than the old on the human genome. We show that both the percentage of additional bases masked and the effect on MegaBLAST outputs are very small...
  8. ncbi PSI-BLAST pseudocounts and the minimum description length principle
    Stephen F Altschul
    National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health Bethesda, MD 20894, USA
    Nucleic Acids Res 37:815-24. 2009
    ..A new method for calculating pseudocounts that significantly improves PSI-BLAST's; retrieval accuracy is now employed by default...

    M Hashim Raza
    National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA
    Hum Genet 132:385-96. 2013
    ..For this 2p + 15q analysis, we show LOD scores ranging from 4.69 to 6.57, and the scores are sensitive to which marker is chosen for 15q. Our findings provide strong evidence for linkage at several loci...
