QAlign: quality-based multiple alignments with dynamic phylogenetic analysis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrating different alignment strategies, a layout editor and tools deriving phylogenetic trees in a 'multiple alignment environment' helps to investigate and enhance results of multiple sequence alignment by hand. QAlign combines algorithms for fast progressive and accurate simultaneous multiple alignment with a versatile editor and a dynamic phylogenetic analysis in a convenient graphical user interface.

Panta rhei (QAlign2): an open graphical environment for sequence analysis
MOTIVATION The first version of the graphical multiple sequence alignment environment QAlign was published in 2003. Heavy response from the molecular-biological user community clearly demonstrated the need for such a platform. RESULTS Panta rhei extends QAlign by several features. Major redesigns on the user interface, for instance, allow users to flexibily compose views for multiple projects...
متن کاملAn Automated Phylogenetic Tree-Based Small Subunit rRNA Taxonomy and Alignment Pipeline (STAP)
Comparative analysis of small-subunit ribosomal RNA (ss-rRNA) gene sequences forms the basis for much of what we know about the phylogenetic diversity of both cultured and uncultured microorganisms. As sequencing costs continue to decline and throughput increases, sequences of ss-rRNA genes are being obtained at an ever-increasing rate. This increasing flow of data has opened many new windows i...
متن کاملDendroBLAST: Approximate Phylogenetic Trees in the Absence of Multiple Sequence Alignments
The rapidly growing availability of genome information has created considerable demand for both fast and accurate phylogenetic inference algorithms. We present a novel method called DendroBLAST for reconstructing phylogenetic dendrograms/trees from protein sequences using BLAST. This method differs from other methods by incorporating a simple model of sequence evolution to test the effect of in...
متن کاملHeads or tails: a simple reliability check for multiple sequence alignments.
The question of multiple sequence alignment quality has received much attention from developers of alignment methods. Less forthcoming, however, are practical measures for addressing alignment quality issues in real life settings. Here, we present a simple methodology to help identify and quantify the uncertainties in multiple sequence alignments and their effects on subsequent analyses. The pr...
متن کاملProbabilistic Ancestral Sequences and Multiple Alignments
An evolutionary configuration (EC) is a set of aligned sequences of characters (possibly representing amino acids, DNA, RNA or natural language). We define the probability of an EC, based on a given phylogenetic tree and give an algorithm to compute this probability efficiently. From these probabilities, we can compute the most likely sequence at any place in the phylogenetic tree, or its proba...
