Clustering of highly homologous sequences to reduce the size of large protein databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a fast and flexible program for clustering large protein databases at different sequence identity levels. It takes less than 2 h for the all-against-all sequence comparison and clustering of the non-redundant protein database of over 560,000 sequences on a high-end PC. The output database, including only the representative sequences, can be used for more efficient and sensitive database searches.

Designing Of Degenerate Primers-Based Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) For Amplification Of WD40 Repeat-Containing Proteins Using Local Allignment Search Method
Degenerate primers-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are commonly used for isolation of unidentified gene sequences in related organisms. For designing the degenerate primers, we propose the use of local alignment search method for searching the conserved regions long enough to design an acceptable primer pair. To test this method, a WD40 repeat-containing domain protein from Beauveria bass...
متن کاملA graph-based clustering method applied to protein sequences
The number of amino acid sequences is increasing very rapidly in the protein databases like Swiss-Prot, Uniprot, PIR and others, but the structure of only some amino acid sequences are found in the Protein Data Bank. Thus, an important problem in genomics is automatically clustering homologous protein sequences when only sequence information is available. Here, we use graph theoretic techniques...

متن کاملOrder-Sensitive Clustering for Remote Homologous Protein Detection
Traditional sequence alignment methods are effective in identifying homologous proteins that are highly similar. However, these approaches do not perform well for remote homologous proteins, that is, proteins whose 3D structures are similar but their sequences are not. Recent biological research reveals that protein sequences contain residues that determine the 3D structure of proteins. In this...
