Visualizing profile-profile alignment: pairwise HMM logos
UNLABELLED The availability of advanced profile-profile comparison tools, such as PRC or HHsearch demands sophisticated visualization tools not presently available. We introduce an approach built upon the concept of HMM logos. The method illustrates the similarities of pairs of protein family profiles in an intuitive way. Two HMM logos, one for each profile, are drawn one upon the other. The al...
متن کاملHMMBinder: DNA-Binding Protein Prediction Using HMM Profile Based Features
DNA-binding proteins often play important role in various processes within the cell. Over the last decade, a wide range of classification algorithms and feature extraction techniques have been used to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a novel DNA-binding protein prediction method called HMMBinder. HMMBinder uses monogram and bigram features extracted from the HMM profiles of the pro...
متن کاملEnhancing Protein Fold Prediction Accuracy Using Evolutionary and Structural Features
Protein fold recognition (PFR) is considered as an important step towards the protein structure prediction problem. It also provides crucial information about the functionality of the proteins. Despite all the efforts that have been made during the past two decades, finding an accurate and fast computational approach to solve PFR still remains a challenging problem for bioinformatics and comput...
متن کاملProfile-Profile Alignment: A Powerful Tool for Protein Structure Prediction
The problem of computing the tertiary structure of a protein from a given amino acid sequence has been a major subject of bioinformatics research during the last decade. Many different approaches have been taken to tackle the problem, the most successful of which are based on searching databases to identify a similar amino acid sequence in the PDB and using the corresponding structure as a temp...
متن کاملAccelerated Profile HMM Searches
Profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) and probabilistic inference methods have made important contributions to the theory of sequence database homology search. However, practical use of profile HMM methods has been hindered by the computational expense of existing software implementations. Here I describe an acceleration heuristic for profile HMMs, the "multiple segment Viterbi" (MSV) alg...
