The analysis of complex systems frequently poses the challenge to distinguish correlation
from causation. Statistical physics has inspired very promising approaches to search for …

The prediction of residue contacts in a protein solely from sequence information is a
promising approach to computational structure prediction. Recent developments use …

Background Direct-coupling analysis (DCA) is a method for protein contact prediction from
sequence information alone. Its underlying principle is parameter estimation for a …

Proteins are essential parts in all living organisms. They consist of sequences of amino
acids. An interaction with reactive agent can stimulate a mutation at a specific position in the …

Natural systems often show complex dynamics. The quantification of such complex
dynamics is an important step in, eg, characterization and classification of different systems …

Zusammenfassung Mathematische Modelle sind essentielle Werkzeuge für die
Strukturanalyse von Biomolekülen und ergänzen Experimente. Dank enorm steigender …

Model-free statistical tests are purely data-driven approaches to assess correlations and
other interdependencies between observable quantities. The few, distinct patterns how to …

Die Biologie befasst sich mit dem Aufbau und der Organisation von Lebewesen. Bei beiden
Aspekten finden sich auf verschiedenen Abstraktionsebenen Phänomene, die sich als …

1 BACKGROUND Computing systems are rapidly changing with multicore, graphics
processing units (GPUs), clusters, volunteer systems, clouds, and grids offering a confusing …
