Hidden Markov models for detecting remote protein homologies
MOTIVATION A new hidden Markov model method (SAM-T98) for finding remote homologs of protein sequences is described and evaluated. The method begins with a single target sequence and iteratively builds a hidden Markov model (HMM) from the sequence and homologs found using the HMM for database search. SAM-T98 is also used to construct model libraries automatically from sequences in structural da...
متن کاملHidden Markov Models for Remote Protein Homology Detection
Genome sequencing projects are advancing at a staggering pace and are daily producing large amounts of sequence data. However, the experimental characterization of the encoded genes and proteins is lagging far behind. Interpretation of genomic sequences therefore largely relies on computational algorithms and on transferring annotation from characterized proteins to related uncharacterized prot...
متن کاملA Discriminative Framework for Detecting Remote Protein Homologies
A new method for detecting remote protein homologies is introduced and shown to perform well in classifying protein domains by SCOP superfamily. The method is a variant of support vector machines using a new kernel function. The kernel function is derived from a generative statistical model for a protein family, in this case a hidden Markov model. This general approach of combining generative m...
متن کاملFinding remote protein homologs with hidden Markov models
Detecting remote homologs by sequence similarity gets increasingly difficult as the percentage of identical residues decreases. The aim of this work was to investigate if the performance of hidden Markov models could be improved by ignoring the subsequences that exhibit high variability, and only concentrate on the truly conserved regions. This is based on the underlying assumption that these h...
متن کاملHidden Markov Models for Protein Sequence Alignment
Motivation: Protein homology detection and sequence alignment are at the basis of protein structure prediction, function prediction and evolutionary analysis. This work investigates the use of pair HMMs in pairwise protein sequence alignment. It uses a newly-written local software called HMMoc to perform the task. The resulting alignments are evaluated against the HOMSTRAD database of structural
