A comparison of MSA tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is essential in phylogenetic, evolutionary and functional analysis. Several MSA tools are available in the literature. Here, we use several MSA tools such as ClustalX, Align-m, T-Coffee, SAGA, ProbCons, MAFFT, MUSCLE and DIALIGN to illustrate comparative phylogenetic trees analysis for two datasets. Results show that there is no single MSA tool that consistently outperforms the rest in producing reliable phylogenetic trees.

DALILA: The Dialectal Arabic Linguistic Learning Assistant
Dialectal Arabic (DA) poses serious challenges for Natural Language Processing (NLP). The number and sophistication of tools and datasets in DA are very limited in comparison to Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and other languages. MSA tools do not effectively model DA which makes the direct use of MSA NLP tools for handling dialects impractical. This is particularly a challenge for the creation of...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignment Tools: Assessing Performance of the Underlying Algorithms
Multiple sequence alignments have primary role in several domains of modern molecular biology such as protein 3D structure/function prediction, phylogeny inference, molecular function, intermolecular interactions and many other common tasks in sequence analysis. Presently, many tools to construct multiple sequence alignments are available but none of them is accurate for all types of data sets....
متن کاملDialectal Arabic to English Machine Translation: Pivoting through Modern Standard Arabic
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) has a wealth of natural language processing (NLP) tools and resources. In comparison, resources for dialectal Arabic (DA), the unstandardized spoken varieties of Arabic, are still lacking. We present ELISSA, a machine translation (MT) system for DA to MSA. ELISSA employs a rule-based approach that relies on morphological analysis, transfer rules and dictionaries in ...
متن کاملPROCAIN: protein profile comparison with assisting information
Detection of remote sequence homology is essential for the accurate inference of protein structure, function and evolution. The most sensitive detection methods involve the comparison of evolutionary patterns reflected in multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) of protein families. We present PROCAIN, a new method for MSA comparison based on the combination of 'vertical' MSA context (substitution c...

BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between presenting clinical manifestations and imaging features of multisystem neuronal dysfunction in MSA patients, using (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ((18)F-FDG PET). METHODS We studied 50 consecutive MSA patients with characteristic brain MRI findings of MSA, including 34 patients with early MSA-parkinsonian (MSA-P) and 16...
