No selective pressure. Protein: A change in amino acids that are in the same chemical class conserve their chemical environment. For example: Lys to Arg is conservative because both a positively charged.

This algorithm maximizes task in bioinformatics. There are many techniques for the number of amino acid matches and minimizes the alignment multiple sequences. Many techniques number of required gaps to finds globally optimal maximize speed and do not concern with the accuracy of alignment. Local alignments are more useful for aligning the resulting alignment. Likewise, many techniques sub-regions of the sequences, whereas local alignment maximize accuracy and do not concern with the speed. maximizes sub-regions similarity alignment. One of the Reducing memory and execution time requirements and most known of Local alignment is Smith-Waterman increasing the accuracy of multiple sequence alignment algorithm [2]. on large-scale datasets are the vital goal of any technique.

Chapter 6: Multiple Sequence Alignment Learning Objectives
Chapter 6: Multiple Sequence Alignment Learning objectives • Explain the three main stages by which ClustalW performs multiple sequence alignment (MSA); • Describe several alternative programs for MSA (such as MUSCLE, ProbCons, and TCoffee); • Explain how they work, and contrast them with ClustalW; • Explain the significance of performing benchmarking studies and describe several of their basic conclusions for MSA; • Explain the issues surrounding MSA of genomic regions Outline: multiple sequence alignment (MSA) Introduction; definition of MSA; typical uses Five main approaches to multiple sequence alignment Exact approaches Progressive sequence alignment Iterative approaches Consistency-based approaches Structure-based methods Benchmarking studies: approaches, findings, challenges Databases of Multiple Sequence Alignments Pfam: Protein Family Database of Profile HMMs SMART Conserved Domain Database Integrated multiple sequence alignment resources MSA database curation: manual versus automated Multiple sequence alignments of genomic regions UCSC, Galaxy, Ensembl, alignathon Perspective Multiple sequence alignment: definition • a collection of three or more protein (or nucleic acid) sequences that are partially or completely aligned • homologous residues are aligned in columns across the length of the sequences • residues are homologous in an evolutionary sense • residues are homologous in a structural sense Example: 5 alignments of 5 globins Let’s look at a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of five globins proteins. We’ll use five prominent MSA programs: ClustalW, Praline, MUSCLE (used at HomoloGene), ProbCons, and TCoffee. Each program offers unique strengths. We’ll focus on a histidine (H) residue that has a critical role in binding oxygen in globins, and should be aligned. But often it’s not aligned, and all five programs give different answers. -

BASS: Approximate Search on Large String Databases
BASS: Approximate Search on Large String Databases Jiong Yang Wei Wang Philip Yu UIUC UNC Chapel Hill IBM [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Similarity search on a string database can be classified into two categories: exact match and approximate match. The In this paper, we study the problem on how to build an index struc- search of exact match looks for substrings in the database, ture for large string databases to efficiently support various types of which is exactly identical to the query pattern while the search string matching without the necessity of mapping the substrings to of approximate match allows some types of imperfection such a numerical space (e.g., string B-tree and MRS-index) nor the re- as substitutions between certain symbols, some degree of mis- striction of in-memory practice (e.g., suffix tree and suffix array). alignment, and the presence of “wild-card” in the query pat- Towards this goal, we propose a new indexing scheme, BASS-tree, tern. We shall mention that supporting approximate match is to efficiently support general approximate substring match (in terms very important to many applications. For instance, biologists of certain symbol substitutions and misalignments) in sublinear time have observed that mutations between certain pair of amino on a large string database. The key idea behind the design is that all acids may occur at a noticeable probability in some proteins positions in each string are grouped recursively into a fully balanced and such a mutation usually does not alter the biological func- tree according to the similarities of the subsequent segments starting tion of the proteins. -
Computational Biology Lecture 8: Substitution Matrices Saad Mneimneh
Computational Biology Lecture 8: Substitution matrices Saad Mneimneh As we have introduced last time, simple scoring schemes like +1 for a match, -1 for a mismatch and -2 for a gap are not justifiable biologically, especially for amino acid sequences (proteins). Instead, more elaborated scoring functions are used. These scores are usually obtained as a result of analyzing chemical properties and statistical data for amino acids and DNA sequences. For example, it is known that same size amino acids are more likely to be substituted by one another. Similarly, amino acids with same affinity to water are likely to serve the same purpose in some cases. On the other hand, some mutations are not acceptable (may lead to demise of the organism). PAM and BLOSUM matrices are amongst results of such analysis. We will see the techniques through which PAM and BLOSUM matrices are obtained. Substritution matrices Chemical properties of amino acids govern how the amino acids substitue one another. In principle, a substritution matrix s, where sij is used to score aligning character i with character j, should reflect the probability of two characters substituing one another. The question is how to build such a probability matrix that closely maps reality? Different strategies result in different matrices but the central idea is the same. If we go back to the concept of a high scoring segment pair, theory tells us that the alignment (ungapped) given by such a segment is governed by a limiting distribution such that ¸sij qij = pipje where: ² s is the subsitution matrix used ² qij is the probability of observing character i aligned with character j ² pi is the probability of occurrence of character i Therefore, 1 qij sij = ln ¸ pipj This formula for sij suggests a way to constrcut the matrix s. -

Phylogenetic Analysis of Protein Sequence UNIT 19.11 Data Using the Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood (RAXML) Program Antonis Rokas1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee ABSTRACT Phylogenetic analysis is the study of evolutionary relationships among molecules, phenotypes, and organisms. In the context of protein sequence data, phylogenetic analysis is one of the cornerstones of comparative sequence analysis and has many applications in the study of protein evolution and function. This unit provides a brief review of the principles of phylogenetic analysis and describes several different standard phylogenetic analyses of protein sequence data using the RAXML (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood) Program.

K. Tripathi, S. S. Soam MSA is a well-known method of alignment of three or more Abstract: Protein Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a biological sequences. Multiple sequence alignment is a very process, that helps in alignment of more than two protein intricate problem, therefore, computation of exact MSA is sequences to establish an evolutionary relationship between the only feasible for the very small number of sequences which is sequences. As part of Protein MSA, the biological sequences are not practical in real situations. Dynamic programming as used aligned in a way to identify maximum similarities. Over time the sequencing technologies are becoming more sophisticated and in pairwise sequence method is impractical for a large number hence the volume of biological data generated is increasing at an of sequences while performing MSA and therefore the enormous rate. This increase in volume of data poses a challenge heuristic algorithms with approximate approaches [7] have to the existing methods used to perform effective MSA as with the been proved more successful. Generally, various biological increase in data volume the computational complexities also sequences are organized into a two-dimensional array such increases and the speed to process decreases. The accuracy of that the residues in each column are homologous or having the MSA is another factor critically important as many bioinformatics same functionality. Many MSA methods were developed over inferences are dependent on the output of MSA. -
