Phylogenetic Profiling of Insertions and Deletions in Vertebrate Genomes
Micro-indels are small insertion or deletion events (indels) that occur during genome evolution. The study of micro-indels is important, both in order to better understand the underlying biological mechanisms, and also for improving the evolutionary models used in sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis. The inference of micro-indels from multiple sequence alignments of related genomes pos...
متن کاملETools: Tools to Handle Biological Sequences and Alignments for Evolutionary Studies
Sequences and alignments are the fundamental elements for Bioinformatics and thus a number of tools are provided for retrieval, handle, and analyses. However, for the molecular evolutionary studies, most of them assume human editing of data in the middle of analytical process without providing effective means. In fact, machine-produced multiple alignments are rarely good enough for later analyt...
متن کاملEvolutionary HMMs: a Bayesian approach to multiple alignment
MOTIVATION We review proposed syntheses of probabilistic sequence alignment, profiling and phylogeny. We develop a multiple alignment algorithm for Bayesian inference in the links model proposed by Thorne et al. (1991, J. Mol. Evol., 33, 114-124). The algorithm, described in detail in Section 3, samples from and/or maximizes the posterior distribution over multiple alignments for any number of ...
متن کاملBayesian Top-Down Protein Sequence Alignment with Inferred Position-Specific Gap Penalties
We describe a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler for protein multiple sequence alignment (MSA) that, as implemented in the program GISMO and applied to large numbers of diverse sequences, is more accurate than the popular MSA programs MUSCLE, MAFFT, Clustal-Ω and Kalign. Features of GISMO central to its performance are: (i) It employs a "top-down" strategy with a favorable asympto...
متن کاملEvaluation of scoring functions for protein multiple sequence alignment using structural alignments
The process of aligning a group of protein sequences to obtain a meaningful Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) is a basic tool in current bioinformatic research. The development of new MSA algorithms raises the need for an efficient way to evaluate the quality of an alignment, in order to select the best alignment among the ones produced by the available algorithms. A natural way to evaluate the...
