Lecture 3 Introduction to Sequence Similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
The next few lectures will deal with the topic of “sequence similarity”, where the sequences under consideration might be DNA, RNA, or amino acid sequences. This is likely the most frequently performed task in computational biology. Its usefulness is predicated on the assumption that a high degree of similarity between two sequences often implies similar function and/or three-dimensional structure. Most of the content of these lectures on sequence similarity is from Gusfield [1].

متن کاملLecture Notes: Markov models of sequence evolution
In considering the degree of similarity that we expect by chance, these scoring functions allow us to compare two alignments by comparing their scores, but are less useful for assessing a pairwise alignment in an absolute sense. Given a pair of aligned sequences with a particular collection of matches, mismatches, and indels, does the alignment reflect enough similarity to suggest that it is of...

In the previous lectures we saw how to express prior knowledge by restricting ourselves to a finite hypothesis classes or by defining an order over countable hypothesis classes. In this lecture we show how one can learn even uncountable hypothesis classes by deriving compression bounds. Roughly speaking, we shall see that if a learning algorithm can express the output hypothesis using a small s...
متن کاملThe analysis of multiple DNA or protein sequences (I)
The analysis of multiple DNA or protein sequences (I) Sequence similarity is an important issue in sequence alignments. In molecular biology, proteins and DNA can be similar with respect to their function, their structure, or their primary sequence of amino or nucleic acids. The general rule is that sequence determines shape, and shape determines function. So when we study sequence similarity, ...
