Biological Sequence Simulation for Testing Complex Evolutionary Hypotheses: indel-Seq-Gen Version 2.0
Sequence simulation is an important tool in validating biological hypotheses as well as testing various bioinformatics and molecular evolutionary methods. Hypothesis testing relies on the representational ability of the sequence simulation method. Simple hypotheses are testable through simulation of random, homogeneously evolving sequence sets. However, testing complex hypotheses, for example, ...
متن کاملA New Method for Characterization of Biological Particles in Microscopic Videos: Hypothesis Testing Based on a Combination of Stochastic Modeling and Graph Theory
Introduction Studying motility of biological objects is an important parameter in many biomedical processes. Therefore, automated analyzing methods via microscopic videos are becoming an important step in recent researches. Materials and Methods In the proposed method of this article, a hypothesis testing function is defined to separate biological particles from artifact and noise in captured v...
متن کاملA Network of Hidden Markov Models and Its Analysis
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database uses a large number of hidden Markov models (HMMs) to represent families and superfamilies composed of proteins that presumably share the same evolutionary origin. However, how the HMMs are related to one another has not been examined before. In this work, taking into account the processes used to build the HMMs, we propose a working hyp...
متن کاملExploring the Evolution of Novel Enzyme Functions within Structurally Defined Protein Superfamilies
In order to understand the evolution of enzyme reactions and to gain an overview of biological catalysis we have combined sequence and structural data to generate phylogenetic trees in an analysis of 276 structurally defined enzyme superfamilies, and used these to study how enzyme functions have evolved. We describe in detail the analysis of two superfamilies to illustrate different paradigms o...
متن کاملEvolution of function in protein superfamilies, from a structural perspective.
The recent growth in protein databases has revealed the functional diversity of many protein superfamilies. We have assessed the functional variation of homologous enzyme superfamilies containing two or more enzymes, as defined by the CATH protein structure classification, by way of the Enzyme Commission (EC) scheme. Combining sequence and structure information to identify relatives, the majori...
