Abstract
Protein sequence searching, alignment and structure comparison are common computational methods in molecular biology. However, although there are many different techniques, it is currently difficult to tell which are the most effective. In this project we will develop a benchmark suite for the evaluation of algorithms for: 1) pairwise and multiple sequence alignment, 2) protein fold recognition and 3) sequence database scanning. The results will be useful both to software developers who would like to compare a new technique to previous both to software developers who would like to compare a new technique to previous methods, and molecular biologists who wish to make best use of all available techniques.
