Homology
16
Homology definitions Homology is an evolutionary relationship that either exists or does not. It cannot be partial. An ortholog is a homolog that arose through a speciation event A paralog is a homolog that arose through a gene duplication event. Paralogs often have divergent function. Similarity is a measure of the quality of alignment between two sequences. High similarity is evidence for homology. Similar sequences may be orthologs or paralogs.
17
One More Homology type Xenology – similarity due to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) How do you discover this?
18
Alignment Problem (Optimal) pairwise alignment consists of considering all possible alignments of two sequences and choosing the optimal one. Sub-optimal (heuristic) alignment algorithms are also very important: eg BLAST
19
Key Issues Types of alignments (local vs. global) The scoring system The alignment algorithm Measuring alignment significance
20
Types of Alignment Global—sequences aligned from end- to-end. Local—alignments may start in the middle of either sequence Ungapped—no insertions or deletions are allowed Other types: overlap alignments, repeated match alignments
21
Local vs. Global Pairwise Alignments A global alignment includes all elements of the sequences and includes gaps. A global alignment may or may not include "end gap" penalties. Global alignments are better indicators of homology and take longer to compute. A local alignment includes only subsequences, and sometimes is computed without gaps. Local alignments can find shared domains in divergent proteins and are fast to compute
22
How do you compare alignments? Scoring scheme What events do we score? Matches Mismatches Gaps What scores will you give these events? What assumptions are you making? Score your alignment
23
Scoring Matrices How do you determine scores? What is out there already for your use? DNA versus Amino Acids? TTACGGAGCTTC CTGAGATCC
24
Multiple Sequence Alignment Global versus Local Alignments Progressive alignment Estimate guide tree Do pairwise alignment on subtrees ClustalX
25
Improvements Consistency-based Algorithms T-Coffee - consistency-based objective function to minimize potential errors Generates pair-wise global (Clustal) Local (Lalign) Then combine, reweight, progressive alignment
26
Iterative Algorithms Estimate draft progressive alignment (uncorrected distances) Improved progressive (reestimate guide tree using Kimura 2-parameter) Refinement - divide into 2 subtrees, estimate two profiles, then re-align 2 profiles Continue refinement until convergence
27
Software Clustal T-Coffee MUSCLE (limited models) MAFFT (wide variety of models)
28
Comparisons Speed Muscle>MAFFT>CLUSTALW>T-COFFEE Accuracy MAFFT>Muscle>T-COFFEE>CLUSTALW Lots more work to do here!
