SOAP, cleaning multiple alignments from unstable blocks
SUMMARY SOAP is a stand-alone, multi-platform program to test the stability of a multiple alignment of molecular sequences.
متن کاملSelection of conserved blocks from multiple alignments for their use in phylogenetic analysis.
The use of some multiple-sequence alignments in phylogenetic analysis, particularly those that are not very well conserved, requires the elimination of poorly aligned positions and divergent regions, since they may not be homologous or may have been saturated by multiple substitutions. A computerized method that eliminates such positions and at the same time tries to minimize the loss of inform...
متن کاملGemi: PCR Primers Prediction from Multiple Alignments
Designing primers and probes for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a preliminary and critical step that requires the identification of highly conserved regions in a given set of sequences. This task can be challenging if the targeted sequences display a high level of diversity, as frequently encountered in microbiologic studies. We developed Gemi, an automated, fast, and easy-to-use bioinforma...
متن کاملInference of selection from multiple species alignments.
The selective pressure on a protein-coding gene can be measured by comparing silent (synonymous) and replacement (nonsynonymous) substitution rates. Higher replacement than silent rates provide unequivocal evidence for adaptive evolution driven by Darwinian selection. Previous employment of this criterion involved pairwise sequence comparison, averaging rates over time and sequences, resulting ...
متن کاملSeqFIRE: a web application for automated extraction of indel regions and conserved blocks from protein multiple sequence alignments
Analyses of multiple sequence alignments generally focus on well-defined conserved sequence blocks, while the rest of the alignment is largely ignored or discarded. This is especially true in phylogenomics, where large multigene datasets are produced through automated pipelines. However, some of the most powerful phylogenetic markers have been found in the variable length regions of multiple al...
