RaptorX: exploiting structure information for protein alignment by statistical inference.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents RaptorX, a statistical method for template-based protein modeling that improves alignment accuracy by exploiting structural information in a single or multiple templates. RaptorX consists of three major components: single-template threading, alignment quality prediction, and multiple-template threading. This work summarizes the methods used by RaptorX and presents its CASP9 result analysis, aiming to identify major bottlenecks with RaptorX and template-based modeling and hopefully directions for further study. Our results show that template structural information helps a lot with both single-template and multiple-template protein threading especially when closely-related templates are unavailable, and there is still large room for improvement in both alignment and template selection. The RaptorX web server is available at http://raptorx.uchicago.edu.

RaptorX server: a resource for template-based protein structure modeling.
Assigning functional properties to a newly discovered protein is a key challenge in modern biology. To this end, computational modeling of the three-dimensional atomic arrangement of the amino acid chain is often crucial in determining the role of the protein in biological processes. We present a community-wide web-based protocol, RaptorX server ( http://raptorx.uchicago.edu ), for automated pr...
متن کاملClustering in Relational Biological Data
The scientific endeavor of biology is becoming increasingly reliant on data in electronic form, and it is therefore necessary for biologists to manage and understand large quantities of data. Publicly available data including biological sequences, biological structures, and literature in the life sciences have grown to such an extent that computing is essential simply to store and access it. He...

RaptorX Property (http://raptorx2.uchicago.edu/StructurePropertyPred/predict/) is a web server predicting structure property of a protein sequence without using any templates. It outperforms other servers, especially for proteins without close homologs in PDB or with very sparse sequence profile (i.e. carries little evolutionary information). This server employs a powerful in-house deep learnin...
متن کاملTemplate-based protein structure modeling using TASSER
Despite considerable efforts to develop accurate template free approaches, template-based protein structure modeling is still the only reliable protein structure modeling method.1 Templatebased modeling involves (1) template identification, usually by threading; (2) construction of the target-template alignment; (3) model generation based on this alignment; and (4) refinement of the template mo...
متن کاملBayesian Phylogenetic Inference under a Statistical Insertion-Deletion Model
A central problem in computational biology is the inference of phylogeny given a set of DNA or protein sequences. Currently, this problem is tackled stepwise, with phylogenetic reconstruction dependent on an initial multiple sequence alignment step. However these two steps are fundamentally interdependent. Whether the main interest is in sequence alignment or phylogeny, a major goal of computat...
