Enhancements to Hidden Markov Models for Gene Finding and Other Biological Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2005)In this thesis, we present enhancements of hidden Markov models for the problem of finding genes in DNA sequences. Genes are the parts of DNA that serve as a template for synthesis of proteins. Thus, gene finding ... -
Modeling Protein Secondary Structure by Products of Dependent Experts
(University of Waterloo, 2001)A phenomenon as complex as protein folding requires a complex model to approximate it. This thesis presents a bottom-up approach for building complex probabilistic models of protein secondary structure by incorporating ...
