Improved detection of remote homologues using cascade PSI-BLAST: influence of neighbouring protein families on sequence coverage.

BACKGROUND: Development of sensitive sequence search procedures for the detection of distant relationships between proteins at superfamily/fold level is still a big challenge. The intermediate sequence search approach is the most frequently employed manner of identifying remote homologues effectivel...
