Sequence progressive alignment, a framework for practical large-scale probabilistic consistency alignment
MOTIVATION Multiple sequence alignment is a cornerstone of comparative genomics. Much work has been done to improve methods for this task, particularly for the alignment of small sequences, and especially for amino acid sequences. However, less work has been done in making promising methods that work on the small-scale practically for the alignment of much larger genomic sequences. RESULTS We...
متن کاملProbCons: Probabilistic consistency-based multiple sequence alignment.
To study gene evolution across a wide range of organisms, biologists need accurate tools for multiple sequence alignment of protein families. Obtaining accurate alignments, however, is a difficult computational problem because of not only the high computational cost but also the lack of proper objective functions for measuring alignment quality. In this paper, we introduce probabilistic consist...
متن کاملProbabilistic pairwise sequence alignment
We describe an new algorithm for visualizing an alignment of biological sequences according to a probabilistic model of evolution. The resulting data array is readily interpreted by the human eye and amenable to digital image techniques. We present examples using mRNA sequences from mouse and rat: three cytochromes and two zinc finger proteins. The underlying evolutionary model is derived from ...
متن کاملAn Efficient Progressive Alignment Algorithm for Multiple Sequence Alignment
Analyzing and comparing the string representations of sequences reveals a lot of useful information about the sequences. As new biological sequences are being generated at exponential rates, sequence comparison is becoming increasingly important to draw functional and evolutionary inference of proteins. This paper presents a partitioning approach for biomolecular sequence alignment that signifi...
متن کاملA Parallel Algorithm for Large-scale Multiple Sequence Alignment
Multiple sequence alignment is a central topic of extensive research in computational biology. Basically, two or more protein sequences are compared to evaluate their similarity and to identify conserved regions. This work reports a methodology for parallel processing of a multiple sequence alignment algorithm (ClustalW) in an environment of networked computers. A detailed description of the mo...
