Protein motifs are conserved fragments occurred frequently in protein sequences. They have significant functions, such as active site of an enzyme. Search and clustering protein sequence motifs are computational intensive. Most existing methods are not fast enough to analyze large data sets for motif finding or achieve low accuracy for motif clustering. We present a new protein sequence motif finding and clustering algorithm, called HSEARCH. It converts fixed length protein sequences to data…

kClust: fast and sensitive clustering of large protein sequence databases
TLDR
This work presents a method to cluster large protein sequence databases such as UniProt within days down to 20%-30% maximum pairwise sequence identity and compares favorably to CD-HIT and UCLUST in terms of false discovery rate, sensitivity, and speed.
Fast index based algorithms and software for matching position specific scoring matrices
TLDR
A new non-heuristic algorithm, called ESAsearch, to efficiently find matches of PSSMs in large databases, based on dynamic programming and, in contrast to other methods, it employs lazy evaluation of the dynamic programming matrix.
Search and clustering orders of magnitude faster than BLAST
TLDR
UCLUST is a new clustering method that exploits USEARCH to assign sequences to clusters and offers several advantages over the widely used program CD-HIT, including higher speed, lower memory use, improved sensitivity, clustering at lower identities and classification of much larger datasets.

TLDR
This work has derived substitution matrices from about 2000 blocks of aligned sequence segments characterizing more than 500 groups of related proteins, leading to marked improvements in alignments and in searches using queries from each of the groups.
