Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addressing this important problem. pHMM packages present a relatively s...
