CASA: a server for the critical assessment of protein sequence alignment accuracy
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY A public server for evaluating the accuracy of protein sequence alignment methods is presented. CASA is an implementation of the alignment accuracy benchmark presented by Sauder et al. (Proteins, 40, 6-22, 2000). The benchmark currently contains 39321 pairwise protein structure alignments produced with the CE program from SCOP domain definitions. The server produces graphical and tabular comparisons of the accuracy of a user's input sequence alignments with other commonly used programs, such as BLAST, PSI-BLAST, Clustal W, and SAM-T99. AVAILABILITY The server is located at http://capb.dbi.udel.edu/casa.

A generalization of Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) using one-by-one dependency between sequences
The Profile Hidden Markov Model (PHMM) can be poor at capturing dependency between observations because of the statistical assumptions it makes. To overcome this limitation, the dependency between residues in a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) which is the representative of a PHMM can be combined with the PHMM. Based on the fact that sequences appearing in the final MSA are written based on th...
متن کاملSSALN: an alignment algorithm using structure-dependent substitution matrices and gap penalties learned from structurally aligned protein pairs.
In template-based modeling of protein structures, the generation of the alignment between the target and the template is a critical step that significantly affects the accuracy of the final model. This paper proposes an alignment algorithm SSALN that learns substitution matrices and position-specific gap penalties from a database of structurally aligned protein pairs. In addition to the amino a...
متن کاملProtein structure prediction of CASP5 comparative modeling and fold recognition targets using consensus alignment approach and 3D assessment.
For the fifth round of Critical Assessment of Techniques for Protein Structure Prediction (CASP5) all comparative modeling (CM) and fold recognition (FR) target proteins were modeled using a combination of consensus alignment strategy and 3D assessment. A large number and broad variety of prediction targets, with sequence identity between each modeled domain and the related known structure, ran...
متن کاملGUIDANCE: a web server for assessing alignment confidence scores
Evaluating the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is critical for virtually every comparative sequence analysis that uses an MSA as input. Here we present the GUIDANCE web-server, a user-friendly, open access tool for the identification of unreliable alignment regions. The web-server accepts as input a set of unaligned sequences. The server aligns the sequences and provides a simple ...
متن کاملCOLORADO3D, a web server for the visual analysis of protein structures
COLORADO3D is a World Wide Web server for the visual presentation of three-dimensional (3D) protein structures. COLORADO3D indicates the presence of potential errors (detected by ANOLEA, PROSAII, PROVE or VERIFY3D), identifies buried residues and depicts sequence conservations. As input, the server takes a file of Protein Data Bank (PDB) coordinates and, optionally, a multiple sequence alignmen...
