Bioinformatics, through the sequencing of the full genomes for many species, is increasingly relying on efficient global alignment tools exhibiting both high sensitivity and specificity. Many computational algorithms have been applied for solving the sequence alignment problem. Dynamic programming, statistical methods, approximation and heuristic algorithms are the most common methods appli...

Protein sequence alignment is the task of identifying evolutionarily or structurally related positions in a collection of amino acid sequences. Although the protein alignment problem has been studied for several decades, many recent studies have demonstrated considerable progress in improving the accuracy or scalability of multiple and pairwise alignment tools, or in expanding the scope of task...

This paper examines the usefulness of constraintbased alignment and distribution tools in graphical editors. Currently one-way constraints are used to provide alignment and distribution tools in many commercial editors. In this paper we discuss how limitations of oneway constraints lead to serious usability issues with such tools. To overcome these limitations, we show how to implement alignmen...

Annotation interfaces for parallel corpora which fit in well with other tools can be very useful. We describe a set of annotation interfaces which fulfill this criterion. This set includes a sentence alignment interface, two different word or word group alignment interfaces and an initial version of a parallel syntactic annotation alignment interface. These tools can be used for manual alignmen...

Even though there are many useful tools for sequence alignment such as Blast by NCBI, Fasta by the University of Virginia and Smith-Waterman, by NIST, one of the key issues is that sequence databases are exploding in size, growing at an exponential rate. Grid and parallel computing are crucial techniques to maintain and improve the effectiveness of sequence comparison tools, whereas the Web Ser...

paying attention to the relative alignment of individual and organization goals requires that this fact be considered sometimes happens struggle between these two phenomena for several reasons. these two can be in conflict with one another. hence, one of the primary problem that managers are encountered, is that they attempt to combine and reconcile two somewhat contradictory issues, and they a...

Effective use of translation products and services depends on professional and learner translators familiarity with different translation procedures, strategies and tools, currently available for solving specific translation problems. In this poster we will focus on the use of language independent alignment-based technology, applied to parallel corpora, for effectively aiding translation learni...
