Towards Alignment Independent Quantitative Assessment of Homology Detection
Identification of homologous proteins provides a basis for protein annotation. Sequence alignment tools reliably identify homologs sharing high sequence similarity. However, identification of homologs that share low sequence similarity remains a challenge. Lowering the cutoff value could enable the identification of diverged homologs, but also introduces numerous false hits. Methods are being c...
متن کاملProtein homology detection using string alignment kernels
MOTIVATION Remote homology detection between protein sequences is a central problem in computational biology. Discriminative methods involving support vector machines (SVMs) are currently the most effective methods for the problem of superfamily recognition in the Structural Classification Of Proteins (SCOP) database. The performance of SVMs depends critically on the kernel function used to qua...
متن کاملFast model-based protein homology detection without alignment
MOTIVATION As more genomes are sequenced, the demand for fast gene classification techniques is increasing. To analyze a newly sequenced genome, first the genes are identified and translated into amino acid sequences which are then classified into structural or functional classes. The best-performing protein classification methods are based on protein homology detection using sequence alignment...
متن کاملHomology-extended sequence alignment
We present a profile-profile multiple alignment strategy that uses database searching to collect homologues for each sequence in a given set, in order to enrich their available evolutionary information for the alignment. For each of the alignment sequences, the putative homologous sequences that score above a pre-defined threshold are incorporated into a position-specific pre-alignment profile....
متن کاملTowards a Quantitative Assessment of Method Replacement
Object-oriented programming is about the creation of reusable classes that are to be extended to capture the specific requirements of the application at hand. However, instead of extending the methods of these classes, programmers often introduce subclasses in which they replace methods with new implementations that are completely detached from the superclass; that is, the subclass method does ...
