Comparing Best-First Search and Dynamic Programming for Optimal Multiple Sequence Alignment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sequence alignment is an important problem in computational biology. We compare two different approaches to the problem of optimally aligning two or more character strings: bounded dynamic programming (BDP), and divide-and-conquer frontier search (DCFS). The approaches are compared in terms of time and space requirements in 2 through 5 dimensions with sequences of varying similarity and length. While BDP performs better in two and three dimensions, it consumes more time and memory than DCFS for higher-dimensional problems.

An Application of the ABS LX Algorithm to Multiple Sequence Alignment
We present an application of ABS algorithms for multiple sequence alignment (MSA). The Markov decision process (MDP) based model leads to a linear programming problem (LPP), whose solution is linked to a suggested alignment. The important features of our work include the facility of alignment of multiple sequences simultaneously and no limit for the length of the sequences. Our goal here is to ...

متن کاملExternal Memory Best-First Search for Multiple Sequence Alignment
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a central problem in computational biology. It is well known that MSA can be formulated as a shortest path problem and solved using heuristic search, but the memory requirement of A* makes it impractical for all but the smallest problems. Partial Expansion A* (PEA*) reduces the memory requirement of A* by generating only the most promising successor nodes. H...
