Fragmented protein sequence alignment using two-layer particle swarm optimization (FTLPSO)

This paper presents a Fragmented protein sequence alignment using two-layer PSO (FTLPSO) method to overcome the drawbacks of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and improve its performance in solving multiple sequence alignment (MSA) problem. The standard PSO suffers from the trapping in local optima,...
