Using multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees to detect RNA secondary structure.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a statistical method to determine if a pair of columns in a multiple alignment of a homologous family of RNA sequences shows evidence of being base paired. The method makes explicit use of a given phylogenetic tree for the sequences in the alignment. It is tested on a multiple alignment of 16S rRNA sequences with good results.

ProfDistS: (profile-) distance based phylogeny on sequence - structure alignments
MOTIVATION The Profile Neighbor Joining (PNJ) algorithm as implemented in the software ProfDist is computationally efficient in reconstructing very large trees. Besides the huge amount of sequence data the structure is important in RNA alignment analysis and phylogenetic reconstruction. RESULTS For this ProfDistS provides a phylogenetic workflow that uses individual RNA secondary structures i...
متن کاملEffects of nucleotide sequence alignment on phylogeny estimation: a case study of 18S rDNAs of apicomplexa.
The reconstruction of phylogenetic history is predicated on being able to accurately establish hypotheses of character homology, which involves sequence alignment for studies based on molecular sequence data. In an empirical study investigating nucleotide sequence alignment, we inferred phylogenetic trees for 43 species of the Apicomplexa and 3 of Dinozoa based on complete small-subunit rDNA se...

متن کاملSimulFold: Simultaneously Inferring RNA Structures Including Pseudoknots, Alignments, and Trees Using a Bayesian MCMC Framework
Computational methods for predicting evolutionarily conserved rather than thermodynamic RNA structures have recently attracted increased interest. These methods are indispensable not only for elucidating the regulatory roles of known RNA transcripts, but also for predicting RNA genes. It has been notoriously difficult to devise them to make the best use of the available data and to predict high...
متن کاملThe Effect of RNA Substitution Models on Viroid and RNA Virus Phylogenies
Many viroids and RNA viruses have genomes that exhibit secondary structure, with paired nucleotides forming stems and loops. Such structures violate a key assumption of most methods of phylogenetic reconstruction, that sequence change is independent among sites. However, phylogenetic analyses of these transmissible agents rarely use evolutionary models that account for RNA secondary structure. ...
