Ancestral Nucleotide and Amino Acid Sequences
A statistical method was developed for reconstructing the nucleotide or amino acid sequences of extinct ancestors, given the phylogeny and sequences of the extant species. A model of nucleotide or amino acid substitution was employed to analyze data of the present-day sequences, and maximum likelihood estimates of parameters such as branch lengths were used to compare the posterior probabilitie...
متن کاملLearning HMMs for nucleotide sequences from amino acid alignments
Profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs) are known to efficiently predict whether an amino acid (AA) sequence belongs to a specific protein family. Profile HMMs can also be used to search for protein domains in genome sequences. In this case, HMMs are typically learned from AA sequences and then used to search on the six-frame translation of nucleotide (NT) sequences. However, this approach ...
متن کاملGenome scanning tests for comparing amino acid sequences between groups.
Consider a placebo-controlled preventive HIV vaccine efficacy trial. An HIV amino acid sequence is measured from each volunteer who acquires HIV, and these sequences are aligned together with the reference HIV sequence represented in the vaccine. We develop genome scanning methods to identify positions at which the amino acids in infected vaccine recipient sequences either (A) are more divergen...
متن کاملAmino acid sequences of mouse complement C3 derived from nucleotide sequences of cloned cDNA.
The complement system consists of a group of plasma proteins that play an important role in the defense of higher vertebrates against microbial infections.'. * In addition, complement and complement-derived peptides participate in inflammatory reactions and in the regulation of antibody synthesis by lymphocytes.'-6 C3,d the third component of complement, is an essential element in the functioni...
متن کاملBLAST 2 Sequences, a new tool for comparing protein and nucleotide sequences.
'BLAST 2 Sequences', a new BLAST-based tool for aligning two protein or nucleotide sequences, is described. While the standard BLAST program is widely used to search for homologous sequences in nucleotide and protein databases, one often needs to compare only two sequences that are already known to be homologous, coming from related species or, e.g. different isolates of the same virus. In such...
