Use of statistical criteria for screening potential homologies in nucleic acid sequences
We proposed a simple formula to assess the statistical significance of homologous segments found in comparison of two nucleic acid sequences (Goad and Kanehisa, Nucleic Acids Res. 10, 247-263, 1982). This paper clarifies the basic assumptions of the formula and its reliability is examined by Monte Carlo calculations. The results were satisfactory for random sequences. The formula is a useful me...
متن کاملNucleic acid homologies among species of Saccharomyces.
Evolutionary divergence among species of the yeast genus Saccharomyces was estimated from measurements of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/DNA and ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA)/DNA homology. Much diversity was found in the DNA base sequences with several species showing little or no homology to the three reference species, S. cerevisiae, S. lactis, and S. fragilis. These three reference species a...
متن کاملPattern recognition in nucleic acid sequences. I. A general method for finding local homologies and symmetries
We present an algorithm--a generalization of the Needleman-Wunsch-Sellers algorithm--which finds within longer sequences all subsequences that resemble one another locally. The probability that so close a resemblance would occur by chance alone is calculated and used to classify these local homologies according to statistical significance. Repeats and inverted repeats may also be found. Results...

Bacteriol. 90:1200-1204. 1965.-The molar per cent of guanine plus cytosine (G + C) in the deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) of Proteus mirabilis, strain 9, and its stable L form was determined by therma...
متن کاملNucleic acid homologies among oxidase-negative Moraxella species.
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) base composition and DNA homologies of more than 40 strains of oxidase-negative Moraxella species were determined. These bacteria have also been identified as belonging to the Mima-Herellea-Acinetobacter group and the Bacterium anitratum group, as well as to several other genera including Achromobacter and Alcaligenes. The DNA base content of these strains ranged...
