A probabilistic measure for alignment-free sequence comparison
MOTIVATION Alignment-free sequence comparison methods are still in the early stages of development compared to those of alignment-based sequence analysis. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic measure of similarity between two biological sequences without alignment. The method is based on the concept of comparing the similarity/dissimilarity between two constructed Markov models. RESULT...
متن کاملMultiple alignment-free sequence comparison
MOTIVATION Recently, a range of new statistics have become available for the alignment-free comparison of two sequences based on k-tuple word content. Here, we extend these statistics to the simultaneous comparison of more than two sequences. Our suite of statistics contains, first, C(*)1 and C(S)1, extensions of statistics for pairwise comparison of the joint k-tuple content of all the sequenc...
متن کاملAlignment-free sequence comparison-a review
MOTIVATION Genetic recombination and, in particular, genetic shuffling are at odds with sequence comparison by alignment, which assumes conservation of contiguity between homologous segments. A variety of theoretical foundations are being used to derive alignment-free methods that overcome this limitation. The formulation of alternative metrics for dissimilarity between sequences and their algo...
متن کاملA Geometric Interpretation for Local Alignment-Free Sequence Comparison
Local alignment-free sequence comparison arises in the context of identifying similar segments of sequences that may not be alignable in the traditional sense. We propose a randomized approximation algorithm that is both accurate and efficient. We show that under D2 and its important variant [Formula: see text] as the similarity measure, local alignment-free comparison between a pair of sequenc...
متن کاملProbabilistic pairwise sequence alignment
We describe an new algorithm for visualizing an alignment of biological sequences according to a probabilistic model of evolution. The resulting data array is readily interpreted by the human eye and amenable to digital image techniques. We present examples using mRNA sequences from mouse and rat: three cytochromes and two zinc finger proteins. The underlying evolutionary model is derived from ...
