چکیده

UNLABELLED We present a software tool CTX-BLAST that incorporates contextual alignment model into the popular protein BLAST program. Our alignment tool allows us to investigate the effect of context-dependency in the protein alignment much more efficient than using previous dynamic algorithms. The software makes use of non-symmetric contextual substitution tables and calculates the statistical significance of a given alignment according to the contextual statistical model. AVAILABILITY CTX-BLAST is an open source software freely available from www.sourceforge.net/projects/CTX-BLAST. A program for statistical estimation of E-value parameters and the contextual substitution table CTX-BLOSUM62 are also provided. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Discriminative modelling of context-specific amino acid substitution probabilities

MOTIVATION Protein sequence searching and alignment are fundamental tools of modern biology. Alignments are assessed using their similarity scores, essentially the sum of substitution matrix scores over all pairs of aligned amino acids. We previously proposed a generative probabilistic method that yields scores that take the sequence context around each aligned residue into account. This method...

Sequence context-specific profiles for homology searching.

Sequence alignment and database searching are essential tools in biology because a protein's function can often be inferred from homologous proteins. Standard sequence comparison methods use substitution matrices to find the alignment with the best sum of similarity scores between aligned residues. These similarity scores do not take the local sequence context into account. Here, we present an ...

Improved prediction of blast-induced vibrations in limestone mines using Genetic Algorithm

Like most limestone mines, which produce the raw materials required for cement companies, the transportation cost of the raw materials used in the Shahrood Cement Company is high. It has been tried to build the crushing and grinding plant close to the mine as much as possible. On the other hand, blasting has harmful effects, and the impacts of blast-induced damages on the sensitive machinery, e...
