Multiple Sequence Alignments in Linguistics
In this study we apply and evaluate an iterative pairwise alignment program for producing multiple sequence alignments, ALPHAMALIG (Alonso et al., 2004), using as material the phonetic transcriptions of words used in Bulgarian dialectological research. To evaluate the quality of the multiple alignment, we propose two new methods based on comparing each column in the obtained alignments with the...
متن کاملAccurate statistical model of comparison between multiple sequence alignments
Comparison of multiple protein sequence alignments (MSA) reveals unexpected evolutionary relations between protein families and leads to exciting predictions of spatial structure and function. The power of MSA comparison critically depends on the quality of statistical model used to rank the similarities found in a database search, so that biologically relevant relationships are discriminated f...
متن کاملEvolving Better Multiple Sequence Alignments
Aligning multiple DNA or protein sequences is a fundamental step in the analyses of phylogeny, homology and molecular structure. Heuristic algorithms are applied because optimal multiple sequence alignment is prohibitively expensive. Heuristic alignment algorithms represent a practical trade-off between speed and accuracy, but they can be improved. We present EVALYN (EVolved ALYNments), a novel...
متن کاملViewing multiple sequence alignments with the JavaScript Sequence
The JavaScript Sequence Alignment Viewer (JSAV) is designed as a simple-to-use JavaScript component for displaying sequence alignments on web pages. The display of sequences is highly configurable with options to allow alternative coloring schemes, sorting of sequences and ’dotifying’ repeated amino acids. An option is also available to submit selected sequences to another web site, or to other...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignments with Parallel Computing
The growth of bioinformatics and computational biology industry, multiple sequence alignment (MSA) applications have become an important emerging workload. In spite of the large amount of recent attention given to the MSA software design, there has been little quantitative understanding of the performance of such applications on modern microprocessors and systems. In this paper we try to analyz...
