Finding functional sequence elements by multiple local alignment.
Algorithms that detect and align locally similar regions of biological sequences have the potential to discover a wide variety of functional motifs. Two theoretical contributions to this classic but unsolved problem are presented here: a method to determine the width of the aligned motif automatically; and a technique for calculating the statistical significance of alignments, i.e. an assessmen...
متن کاملDIALIGN: finding local similarities by multiple sequence alignment
MOTIVATION DIALIGN is a new method for pairwise as well as multiple alignment of nucleic acid and protein sequences. While standard alignment programs rely on comparing single residues and imposing gap penalties, DIALIGN constructs alignments by comparing whole segments of the sequences. No gap penalty is employed. This point of view is especially adequate if sequences are not globally related,...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignment Multiple Sequence Alignment
An algorithm for progressive multiple alignment of sequences with insertions " , 1. Introduction The problem of sequence alignment is to find the patterns of sequence conservation and similarity between pairs or sets of given sequences. In biological contexts, similarity between biological sequences usually amounts to either functional or structural similarities or divergence from a common ance...
متن کاملMultiple alignment by sequence annealing
MOTIVATION We introduce a novel approach to multiple alignment that is based on an algorithm for rapidly checking whether single matches are consistent with a partial multiple alignment. This leads to a sequence annealing algorithm, which is an incremental method for building multiple sequence alignments one match at a time. Our approach improves significantly on the standard progressive alignm...

log g i,j f(j) . For large n, the resulting PAM matrices often allow one to find related proteins even when there are practically no matches in the alignment. In this case, the underlying nucleotide sequences are so diverged that their comparison usually fails to find any statistically significant similarities. For example, the similarity between the cancer-causing ν-sis oncogene and the growth...
