A novel genetic approach for optimized biological sequence alignment
Biological sequence alignment is one of the most important problems in computational biology. The objective of the alignment process is to maximize the alignment score between two given sequences of varying or equal length. The alignment score of two sequences is calculated based on matches, mismatches and gaps in the alignment. We have proposed a new genetic approach for finding optimized matc...
متن کاملStatistical-mechanical structure for renewal stochastic processes
We consider ordinary renewal stochastic processes (generated by independent events) and indicate that their basic distribution and associated generating functions obey the statisticalmechanical structure of noninteracting systems. Based on this fact we look briefly into the less known case of correlated renewal events. When the density distribution ψn(t) for the occurrence of the n-th event at ...
متن کاملConsistently Implementing the Fields Self-energy in Newtonian Gravity
We consider in a pedagogical fashion alterations to Newtonian gravity due to the postulate that all energy corresponds to active gravitational mass when applied to the self-energy of the gravitational field. We show why a simple addition of 1 c 2 times the gravitational field energy to the matter density in Newton’s field equation is inconsistent. A consistent prescription is shown and discusse...
متن کاملProfile alignment scoring functions A comparison of scoring functions for protein sequence profile alignment
Motivation: In recent years, several methods have been proposed for aligning two protein sequence profiles, with reported improvements in alignment accuracy and homolog discrimination versus sequence-sequence methods (e.g. BLAST) and profile-sequence methods (e.g. PSIBLAST). Profile-profile alignment is also the iterated step in progressive multiple sequence alignment algorithms such as CLUSTAL...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of a statistical mechanical model of multiple protein sequence alignment
A grand canonical Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm is presented for studying the lattice gas model (LGM) of multiple protein sequence alignment, which coherently combines long-range interactions and variable-length insertions. MC simulations are used for both parameter optimization of the model and production runs to explore the sequence subspace around a given protein family. In this Note, I describ...
