Molecular Homology and Sequence Alignment
Phylogenetic analysis depends crucially on the data underlying the analysis, with issues of data quality being but one aspect of the problem. A second, slightly less appreciated aspect is that of data comparability and specifically the evolutionary homology (= derivation from a common shared ancestry) of the individual characters being examined. The goal of sequence alignment is to establish th...
متن کاملHomology-extended sequence alignment
We present a profile-profile multiple alignment strategy that uses database searching to collect homologues for each sequence in a given set, in order to enrich their available evolutionary information for the alignment. For each of the alignment sequences, the putative homologous sequences that score above a pre-defined threshold are incorporated into a position-specific pre-alignment profile....
متن کاملMolecular homology and multiple-sequence alignment: an analysis of’concepts and practice
Sequence alignment is just as much a part of phylogenetics as is tree building, although it is often viewed solely as a necessary tool to construct trees. However, alignment for the purpose of phylogenetic inference is primarily about homology, as it is the procedure that expresses homology relationships among the characters, rather than the historical relationships of the taxa. Molecular homol...
متن کاملUncertainty in homology inferences: assessing and improving genomic sequence alignment.
Sequence alignment underpins all of comparative genomics, yet it remains an incompletely solved problem. In particular, the statistical uncertainty within inferred alignments is often disregarded, while parametric or phylogenetic inferences are considered meaningless without confidence estimates. Here, we report on a theoretical and simulation study of pairwise alignments of genomic DNA at huma...
متن کاملSequence alignment for molecular replacement
This article focuses on the key step of obtaining the best possible sequence alignment of the Query (the protein you are interested in) to the Target (a protein of known three-dimensional structure) in order to build a molecular model for molecular replacement. Common sequence-alignment methods are discussed, starting from structural alignment and then moving to pairwise, multiple and profile-p...
