A survey of seeding for sequence alignment
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey recent work in the seeding of alignments, particularly the follow-ups from the 2002 work of Ma, Tromp and Li that brought the concept of spaced seeds into the bioinformatics literature [25]. Our focus is on the extensions of this work to increasingly complicated models of alignments, coming up to the most recent efforts in this area.

An Application of the ABS LX Algorithm to Multiple Sequence Alignment
We present an application of ABS algorithms for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). The Markov decision process (MDP) based model leads to a linear programming problem (LPP), whose solution is linked to a suggested alignment. The important features of our work include the facility of alignment of multiple sequences simultaneously and no limit for the length of the sequences. Our goal here is to ...
متن کاملgpALIGNER: A Fast Algorithm for Global Pairwise Alignment of DNA Sequences
Bioinformatics, through the sequencing of the full genomes for many species, is increasingly relying on efficient global alignment tools exhibiting both high sensitivity and specificity. Many computational algorithms have been applied for solving the sequence alignment problem. Dynamic programming, statistical methods, approximation and heuristic algorithms are the most common methods appli...
متن کاملAnalytic combinatorics for bioinformatics I: seeding methods
Seeding heuristics are the most widely used strategies to speed up sequence alignment in bioinformatics. Such strategies are most successful if they are calibrated, so that the speed-versus-accuracy trade-off can be properly tuned. In the widely used case of read mapping, it has been so far impossible to predict the success rate of competing seeding strategies for lack of a theoretical framewor...
متن کاملHigh speed BLASTN: an accelerated MegaBLAST search tool
Sequence alignment is a long standing problem in bioinformatics. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is one of the most popular and fundamental alignment tools. The explosive growth of biological sequences calls for speedup of sequence alignment tools such as BLAST. To this end, we develop high speed BLASTN (HS-BLASTN), a parallel and fast nucleotide database search tool that accelera...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignment Using SAGA: Investigating the Effects of Operator Scheduling, Population Seeding, and Crossover Operators
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a fundamental problem of great importance in molecular biology. In this study, we investigated several aspects of SAGA, a well-known evolutionary algorithm (EA) for solving MSA problems. The SAGA algorithm is important because it represents a successful attempt at applying EAs to MSA and since it is the first EA to use operator scheduling on this problem. Ho...
