nnSC
nnSC stands for "neural network based sequence comparison." It is a computational method used to compare biological sequences, such as DNA or protein sequences, using the principles of neural networks. Unlike traditional alignment algorithms that rely on scoring matrices and gap penalties, nnSC employs machine learning models to learn complex patterns and relationships within and between sequences.
The core idea behind nnSC is to represent sequences as input for a neural network. This network
Once trained, the nnSC model can predict the similarity or potential relationship between new, unseen sequences.
