In bioinformatics, BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) [3] is an algorithm and program for comparing primary biological sequence information, such as the amino-acid sequences of proteins or the nucleotides of DNA and/or RNA sequences. A BLAST search enables a researcher to compare a subject protein or nucleotide sequence (called a query ...
CS-BLAST: Sequence-context specific BLAST, more sensitive than BLAST, FASTA, and SSEARCH. Position-specific iterative version CSI-BLAST more sensitive than PSI-BLAST: Protein: Angermueller C, Biegert A, Soeding J [3] 2013 CUDASW++ GPU accelerated Smith Waterman algorithm for multiple shared-host GPUs: Protein: Liu Y, Maskell DL and Schmidt B ...
Alignment of 27 avian influenza hemagglutinin protein sequences colored by residue conservation (top) and residue properties (bottom) Multiple sequence alignment is an extension of pairwise alignment to incorporate more than two sequences at a time. Multiple alignment methods try to align all of the sequences in a given query set.
This group of methods [11] [9] [12] [13] [14] makes use of known protein complex structures to predict and structurally model interactions between query protein sequences. The prediction process generally starts by employing a sequence based method (e.g. Interolog ) to search for protein complex structures that are homologous to the query ...
MNHN-Tree-Tools is an opensource phylogenetics inference software working on nucleic and protein sequences. Clustering of DNA or protein sequences and phylogenetic tree inference from a set of sequences. At the core it employs a distance-density based approach. Thomas Haschka, Loïc Ponger, Christophe Escudé and Julien Mozziconacci [28 ...
There are millions of protein and nucleotide sequences known. These sequences fall into many groups of related sequences known as protein families or gene families. Relationships between these sequences are usually discovered by aligning them together and assigning this alignment a score. There are two main types of sequence alignment.
One PAM unit is defined as 1% of the amino acid positions that have been changed. To create a PAM1 substitution matrix, a group of very closely related sequences with mutation frequencies corresponding to one PAM unit is chosen. Based on collected mutational data from this group of sequences, a substitution matrix can be derived.
A BLAST variant called MegaBLAST indexes 4 databases to speed up alignments. [9] BLAT can extend on multiple perfect and near-perfect matches (default is 2 perfect matches of length 11 for nucleotide searches and 3 perfect matches of length 4 for protein searches), while BLAST extends only when one or two matches occur close together.
