Here, we introduce TOPStrings (TOPS+), a highly abstract string-based model of protein topology which permits efficient computation of structure comparison, and can optionally represent ligand information. In this model we consider loops as secondary structure elements (SSEs) as well as helices and strands; in addition we represent ligands as first class objects. Interactions between SSEs, and ...

While the importance of random sequencing errors decreases at higher DNA or RNA sequencing depths, systematic sequencing errors (SSEs) dominate at high sequencing depths and can be difficult to distinguish from biological variants. These SSEs can cause base quality scores to underestimate the probability of error at certain genomic positions, resulting in false positive variant calls, particula...
