SWAPSC: sliding window analysis procedure to detect selective constraints

چکیده

UNLABELLED Sliding-window analysis procedure to detect selective constraints (SWAPSC) is a software system to dissect the constraints on the evolution of protein-coding genes. The program estimates rates of nucleotide substitutions at specific codon regions in each branch of a phylogenetic tree. The program uses several sets of simulated sequence alignments to estimate the probability of synonymous and non-synonymous nucleotide substitutions. Thereafter, a statistical analysis is conducted to determine the optimum window size to detect selective constraints. Finally, the optimum window size is slid along the real alignment and a test for significance of the estimated number of synonymous and non-synonymous nucleotide substitutions in each sliding step is conducted. A number of friendly useful output files is generated. AVAILABILITY SWAPSC is available at http://www.may.ie/academic/biology/staff/mfmolecevolandbioinf.shtml distribution versions for both Linux and Windows operating systems are available, including manual and example files.

The Trouble with Sliding Windows and the Selective Pressure in BRCA1

Sliding-window analysis has widely been used to uncover synonymous (silent, d(S)) and nonsynonymous (replacement, d(N)) rate variation along the protein sequence and to detect regions of a protein under selective constraint (indicated by d(N)d(S)). The approach compares two or more protein-coding genes and plots estimates d(/\)(S) and d(/\)(N) fro...

Mining Frequent Patterns in Uncertain and Relational Data Streams using the Landmark Windows

Todays, in many modern applications, we search for frequent and repeating patterns in the analyzed data sets. In this search, we look for patterns that frequently appear in data set and mark them as frequent patterns to enable users to make decisions based on these discoveries. Most algorithms presented in the context of data stream mining and frequent pattern detection, work either on uncertai...

Localization of Association Signal from Risk and Protective Variants in Sequencing Studies

Aggregating information across multiple variants in a gene or region can improve power for rare variant association testing. Power is maximized when the aggregation region contains many causal variants and few neutral variants. In this paper, we present a method for the localization of the association signal in a region using a sliding-window based approach to rare variant association testing i...
