  2. BLAST (biotechnology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAST_(biotechnology)

    On the other hand, the program XNU is used to mask off the tandem repeats in protein sequences. Make a k-letter word list of the query sequence. Take k=3 for example, we list the words of length 3 in the query protein sequence (k is usually 11 for a DNA sequence) "sequentially", until the last letter of the query sequence is included. The ...

  3. Dot plot (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_plot_(bioinformatics)

    The main diagonal represents the sequence's alignment with itself; lines off the main diagonal represent similar or repetitive patterns within the sequence. In bioinformatics a dot plot is a graphical method for comparing two biological sequences and identifying regions of close similarity after sequence alignment. It is a type of recurrence plot.

  4. Open reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_reading_frame

    In molecular biology, reading frames are defined as spans of DNA sequence between the start and stop codons. Usually, this is considered within a studied region of a prokaryotic DNA sequence, where only one of the six possible reading frames will be "open" (the "reading", however, refers to the RNA produced by transcription of the DNA and its ...

  5. Sequence alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_alignment

    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.

  6. BLAT (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAT_(bioinformatics)

    BLAT can be used for alignments of two protein sequences. However, it is not the tool of choice for these types of alignments. BLASTP, the Standard Protein BLAST tool, is more efficient at protein-protein alignments; [1] Determination of the distribution of exonic and intronic regions of a gene; [9] [10]

  7. Comparative genomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_genomics

    Pairwise Comparison: The Pairwise comparison of genomic sequence data is widely utilized in comparative gene prediction. Many studies in comparative functional genomics lean on pairwise comparisons, wherein traits of each gene are compared with traits of other genes across species. his method yields many more comparisons than unique ...

  8. Gene family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_family

    Knowing the sequence of the protein encoded by a gene can allow researchers to apply methods that find similarities among protein sequences that provide more information than similarities or differences among DNA sequences. If the genes of a gene family encode proteins, the term protein family is often used in an analogous manner to gene family.

  9. List of sequence alignment software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sequence_alignment...

    MegAlign Pro (Lasergene Molecular Biology) Software to align DNA, RNA, protein, or DNA + protein sequences via pairwise and multiple sequence alignment algorithms including MUSCLE, Mauve, MAFFT, Clustal Omega, Jotun Hein, Wilbur-Lipman, Martinez Needleman-Wunsch, Lipman-Pearson and Dotplot analysis.
