Parameterization Studies for the SAM and HMMER Methods of Hidden Markov Model Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple sequence alignment of distantly related viral proteins remains a challenge to all currently available alignment methods. The hidden Markov model approach offers a new, flexible method for the generation of multiple sequence alignments. The results of studies attempting to infer appropriate parameter constraints for the generation of de novo HMMs for globin, kinase, aspartic acid protease, and ribonuclease H sequences by both the SAM and HMMER methods are described.

A comparison of pro®le hidden Markov model procedures for remote homology detection
Pro®le hidden Markov models (HMMs) are amongst the most successful procedures for detecting remote homology between proteins. There are two popular pro®le HMM programs, HMMER and SAM. Little is known about their performance relative to each other and to the recently improved version of PSI-BLAST. Here we compare the two programs to each other and to non-HMM methods, to determine their relative ...

متن کاملWeighting hidden Markov models for maximum discrimination
MOTIVATION Hidden Markov models can efficiently and automatically build statistical representations of related sequences. Unfortunately, training sets are frequently biased toward one subgroup of sequences, leading to an insufficiently general model. This work evaluates sequence weighting methods based on the maximum-discrimination idea. RESULTS One good method scales sequence weights by an e...
متن کاملProfile Comparer: a program for scoring and aligning profile hidden Markov models
UNLABELLED Profile Comparer (PRC) is a stand-alone program for scoring and aligning profile hidden Markov models (HMMs) of protein families. PRC can read models produced by SAM and HMMER, two popular profile HMM packages, as well as PSI-BLAST checkpoint files. This application note provides a brief description of the profile-profile algorithm used by PRC. AVAILABILITY The C source code licens...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison between Profiles from Hidden Markov Models and from Pseudocount Method
Remote homolog detection is one of the main issues in bioinformatics, and the profile-profile comparison is one of the most effective approaches. Recently, we have proposed a novel profile, match-node profile, constructed via profile HMM [6]. To evaluate the performance of match-node profile, we construct the profile by two popular HMM packages, HMMER [2] and SAM [4], and compared the performan...
