PPalign: optimal alignment of Potts models representing proteins with direct coupling information

Abstract Background To assign structural and functional annotations to the ever increasing amount of sequenced proteins, the main approach relies on sequence-based homology search methods, e.g. BLAST or the current state-of-the-art methods based on profile Hidden Markov Models, which rely on signifi...
