An Improved Search Algorithm for Optimal Multiple-Sequence Alignment

open access: yes, 2011
Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is a ubiquitous problem in computational biology. Although it is NP-hard to find an optimal solution for an arbitrary number of sequences, due to the importance of this problem researchers are trying to push the limits ...

A multiple sequence alignment program

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1986
A program is described for simultaneously aligning two or more molecular sequences which is based on first finding common segments above a specified length and then piecing these together to maximize an alignment scoring function. Optimal as well as near-optimal alignments are found, and there is also provided a means for randomizing the given ...

A simple method to control over-alignment in the MAFFT multiple sequence alignment program

open access: yesBioinform., 2016
Motivation: We present a new feature of the MAFFT multiple alignment program for suppressing over-alignment (aligning unrelated segments). Conventional MAFFT is highly sensitive in aligning conserved regions in remote homologs, but the risk of over ...

Three-Way Alignment Improves Multiple Sequence Alignment of Highly Diverged Sequences

open access: yesAlgorithms
The standard approach for constructing a phylogenetic tree from a set of sequences consists of two key stages. First, a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of the sequences is computed.

Pairwise heuristic sequence alignment algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Various methods have been developed to analyze the association between organisms and their genomic sequences. Among them, sequence alignment is the most frequently used for comparative analysis of biological genomes. However, the traditional sequence alignment method is considerably complicated in proportion to the sequences' length, and it is ...

Heuristic for Solving the Multiple Alignment Sequence Problem

open access: yesRevista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2011
In this paper we developed a new algorithm for solving the problem of multiple sequence alignment (AM S), which is a hybrid metaheuristic based on harmony search and simulated annealing.

An improved scoring matrix for multiple sequence alignment [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Vol. 2012, No. 490649, pp. 1-9, 2012, 2014
The way for performing multiple sequence alignment is based on the criterion of the maximum scored information content computed from a weight matrix, but it is possible to have two or more alignments to have the same highest score leading to ambiguities in selecting the best alignment. This paper addresses this issue by introducing the concept of joint

Sigma: multiple alignment of weakly-conserved non-coding DNA sequence

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2006
Background Existing tools for multiple-sequence alignment focus on aligning protein sequence or protein-coding DNA sequence, and are often based on extensions to Needleman-Wunsch-like pairwise alignment methods. We introduce a new tool, Sigma, with a new
