Optimizing Multiple Spaced Seeds for Homology Search
Optimized spaced seeds improve sensitivity and specificity in local homology search. Several authors have shown that multiple seeds can have better sensitivity and specificity than single seeds. We describe a linear programming (LP)-based algorithm to optimize a set of seeds. Theoretically, our algorithm offers a performance guarantee: the sensitivity of a chosen seed set is at least 70% of wha...
متن کاملMultiple spaced seeds for homology search
MOTIVATION Homology search finds similar segments between two biological sequences, such as DNA or protein sequences. The introduction of optimal spaced seeds in PatternHunter has increased both the sensitivity and the speed of homology search, and it has been adopted by many alignment programs such as BLAST. With the further improvement provided by multiple spaced seeds in PatternHunterII, Smi...
متن کاملOn spaced seeds for similarity search
Genomics studies routinely depend on similarity searches based on the strategy of finding short seed matches (contiguous k bases) which are then extended. The particular choice of the seed length, k, is determined by the tradeoff between search speed (larger k reduces chance hits) and sensitivity (smaller k finds weaker similarities). A novel idea of using a single deterministic optimized space...
متن کاملIndel seeds for homology search
We are interested in detecting homologous genomic DNA sequences with the goal of locating approximate inverted, interspersed, and tandem repeats. Standard search techniques start by detecting small matching parts, called seeds, between a query sequence and database sequences. Contiguous seed models have existed for many years. Recently, spaced seeds were shown to be more sensitive than contiguo...
متن کاملFast Computation of Good Multiple Spaced Seeds
Homology search finds similar segments between two biological sequences, such as DNA or protein sequences. A significant fraction of computing power in the world is dedicated to performing such tasks. The introduction of optimal spaced seeds by Ma et al. has increased both the sensitivity and the speed of homology search and it has been adopted by many alignment programs such as BLAST. With the...
