XSuLT: a web server for structural annotation and representation of sequence-structure alignments
The web server XSuLT, an enhanced version of the protein alignment annotation program JoY, formats a submitted multiple-sequence alignment using three-dimensional (3D) structural information in order to assist in the comparative analysis of protein evolution and in the optimization of alignments for comparative modelling and construct design. In addition to the features analysed by JoY, which i...
متن کاملAccuracy of multiple sequence alignments as assessed by reference to structural alignments
In the last 20 years, many multiple-sequence alignment programs based on various principles have been developed. Continuous e orts have been devoted to solve two major problems: (1) how to evaluate the 'goodness' of an alignment, and (2) how to get the alignment with the optimal score. These problems are tightly interrelated, and other criteria are needed to objectively assess reliability of a ...
متن کاملSVM-based Automatic Annotation of Multiple Sequence Alignments
Multiple Sequence alignments are a critical step in phylogeny inference. There is a lack of an appropriate approach which is capable of 1) finding the best global alignment and 2) automating and reproducing manual editing. Progressive alignment is an effective method for multiple Sequence alignments. However, its application in practice has also long been largely hampered because the alignment ...
متن کاملSequence harmony: detecting functional specificity from alignments
Multiple sequence alignments are often used for the identification of key specificity-determining residues within protein families. We present a web server implementation of the Sequence Harmony (SH) method previously introduced. SH accurately detects subfamily specific positions from a multiple alignment by scoring compositional differences between subfamilies, without imposing conservation. T...
متن کاملSignificant improvement in accuracy of multiple protein sequence alignments by iterative refinement as assessed by reference to structural alignments.
The relative performances of four strategies for aligning a large number of protein sequences were assessed by referring to corresponding structural alignments of 54 independent families. Multiple sequence alignment of a family was constructed by a given method from the sequences of known structures and their homologues, and the subset consisting of the sequences of known structures was extract...
