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 کاملOPTIMAL CONSTRAINED DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES BY DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHMS
Structural optimization, when approached by conventional (gradient based) minimization algorithms presents several difficulties, mainly related to computational aspects for the huge number of nonlinear analyses required, that regard both Objective Functions (OFs) and Constraints. Moreover, from the early '80s to today's, Evolutionary Algorithms have been successfully developed and applied as a ...
متن کاملMultiple Structural Rna Alignment with Affine Gap Costs Based on Lagrangian Relaxation
In this thesis the structural alignment of RNA sequences is addressed, a topic of crucial significance in the field of computational biology. Contrary to alignments of DNA, alignments of RNA are not only aligned based on sequence information, but largely depend on the correct structural alignment. Since the functions of RNA depend mostly on its secondary structure and this is highly conserved t...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary and Phylogenetic Study of the BMP15 Gene
DNA sequence data contains a wealth of biologically useful information. Recent innovations in DNA sequencing technology have greatly increased our capacity to determine massive amounts of nucleotide sequences. These sequences can be used to specify the characteristics of different regions, interpret the evolutionary relationships between categorized groups, likelihood of performing multiple com...
