Refining multiple sequence alignments with conserved core regions
Accurate multiple sequence alignments of proteins are very important to several areas of computational biology and provide an understanding of phylogenetic history of domain families, their identification and classification. This article presents a new algorithm, REFINER, that refines a multiple sequence alignment by iterative realignment of its individual sequences with the predetermined conse...
متن کاملSearching databases of conserved sequence regions by aligning protein multiple-alignments.
A general searching method for comparing multiple sequence alignments was developed to detect sequence relationships between conserved protein regions. Multiple alignments are treated as sequences of amino acid distributions and aligned by comparing pairs of such distributions. Four different comparison measures were tested and the Pearson correlation coefficient chosen. The method is sensitive...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignments with Parallel Computing
The growth of bioinformatics and computational biology industry, multiple sequence alignment (MSA) applications have become an important emerging workload. In spite of the large amount of recent attention given to the MSA software design, there has been little quantitative understanding of the performance of such applications on modern microprocessors and systems. In this paper we try to analyz...
متن کاملSeqFIRE: a web application for automated extraction of indel regions and conserved blocks from protein multiple sequence alignments
Analyses of multiple sequence alignments generally focus on well-defined conserved sequence blocks, while the rest of the alignment is largely ignored or discarded. This is especially true in phylogenomics, where large multigene datasets are produced through automated pipelines. However, some of the most powerful phylogenetic markers have been found in the variable length regions of multiple al...
متن کاملMultiple Sequence Alignments in Linguistics
In this study we apply and evaluate an iterative pairwise alignment program for producing multiple sequence alignments, ALPHAMALIG (Alonso et al., 2004), using as material the phonetic transcriptions of words used in Bulgarian dialectological research. To evaluate the quality of the multiple alignment, we propose two new methods based on comparing each column in the obtained alignments with the...
