Context-dependent optimal substitution matrices.

Abstract excerpt

Substitution matrices are a key tool in important applications such as identifying sequence homologies, creating sequence alignments and more recently using evolutionary patterns for the prediction of protein structure. We have derived a novel approach to the derivation of these matrices that utilizes not only multiple sequence alignments, but also the associated evolutionary trees. The key to our method is the...
