Multi-species Conserved Sequences

4.9K
Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale  studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Conserved Binding Sites

5.2K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving

360
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
In individual population analyses, different algorithms are employed, such as Cauchy's method, which uses a...

Per-Unit Sequence Models

467
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) quality is sensitive to parameter choices (gap penalties, substitution scores).
    • Users often default to single parameter settings, potentially missing higher-quality alignments for specific datasets.
    • Parameter advising aims to select optimal parameters for given input sequences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the problem of learning the optimal set of parameter choices for a parameter advisor.
    • To maximize the expected true accuracy of a parameter advisor across diverse datasets.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduced the problem of learning optimal parameter sets for parameter advisors.
    • Developed and analyzed an approximation algorithm for this NP-complete learning problem.
    • Evaluated the algorithm on biological benchmarks using established accuracy estimators.

    Main Results:

    • Proved the NP-completeness of learning optimal parameter sets.
    • Demonstrated a tight approximation ratio for the proposed algorithm.
    • Experimental results showed the algorithm finds near-optimal parameter sets for advisors.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed approximation algorithm effectively learns optimal parameter sets for parameter advisors.
    • Parameter advisors trained with this method yield significantly more accurate MSAs compared to default settings.
    • This approach enhances the reliability and accuracy of biological sequence alignment.
