2. NCBI FieldGuide Web Access BLAST VAST Entrez Text Sequence Structure

3. NCBI FieldGuide Why do we need similarity searching?  To identify and annotate sequences with… incomplete (or no) annotations (GenBank) incorrect annotations  To assemble genomes  To explore evolutionary relationships by… finding homologous molecules developing phylogenetic trees NOTE: Similar sequences may NOT have similar function! Searching with Sequences

4. NCBI FieldGuide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool Widely used similarity search tool Heuristic approach based on Smith Waterman algorithm Finds best local alignments Provides statistical significance All combinations (DNA/Protein) query and database. –DNA vs DNA –DNA translation vs Protein –Protein vs Protein –Protein vs DNA translation –DNA translation vs DNA translation www, standalone, and network clients

15. NCBI FieldGuide Gapped Alignments Gapping provides more biologically realistic alignments Statistical behavior is not completely understood for gapped alignments Gapped BLAST parameters must be found by simulations for each matrix Affine gap costs = -(a+bk) a = gap open penalty b = gap extend penalty A gap of length 1 receives the score -(a+b)
