  4. A Parts List Approach to Bike Maintenance

  5. A Parts List Approach to Bike Maintenance How many roles can these play? How flexible and adaptable are they mechanically? Core What are the shared parts (bolt, nut, washer, spring, bearing), unique parts (cogs, levers)? What are the common parts -- types of parts (nuts & washers)? Where are the parts located?

  6. A Parts List Approach to Baby Maintenance Clearly this is a much larger informatics problem but we can begin in the same way by finding and organizing the parts.

  7. Organize:Part = Project ProposalX= Galileo DNA Transposon • (Important problem)Galileo is the only transposable element (TEs) known to have generated natural chromosomal inversion in the Genus Drosophila. It has not been assigned to a DNA transposon superfamily nor has its diversity in Drosophila genus been investigated. • (You understand various approaches) Galileo is a Foldback-like element that contain a transposase (TPase), which catalyzes their movement in the genome. It was discovered in Drosophilia buzzatii. A search of the Drosophilia Genus using TPase/buzzatti will be done to find homologues usefull in its classification. • (You have a good source of data) Chomosome assemblies of D.melanogaster, D.simulans, and the Contig CAF1 assemblies of 10 other Drosophila genomes may be found at http://rna.lbl.gov/drosophila

  8. Organize:Part = Project ProposalX= Galileo DNA Transposon • (You found an interesting approach)TBLASTN searches using the 40 terminal bp of Dbuz\Galileo will be used to find homologs. One interesting homolog in meganogaster Dmel\P has 30% identity, which can be used to broaden the homology search. • (You have a specific plan) Contigs containing Putative TPases will be scrutinized to characterize the different number of copies of TEs using dot plots to define the boundaries of each copy. BLASTN searches with the full Galileo sequence will be used to investigate the abundance of this TEs within each species. • (You will know when you are done)Ten superfamilies of TEs at ENCODE site have been well characterized. If homologs to Galileo fall into one of these superfamilies we will be able to place it into a specific family. Find a paper that investigates a similar problem. This was base on: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2268567/?tool=pubmed

  9. Organize:Part = DNA ENCODE Project The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium is an international collaboration of research groups funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The goal of the consortium is to build a comprehensive parts listof the functional elements of the human genome, including elements that act at the protein level (coding genes) and RNA level (non-coding genes), and regulatory elements that control the cells and circumstances in which a gene is active. The results of ENCODE experiments, collected in the ENCODE DCC database, are displayed on the UCSC Genome Browser.

  10. Organize:Part = DNA ENCODE Project • 1% of the Human genome 29.9 Mb is being compared to 28 other vertebrates • Only 60% of the sequences under evolutionary constraint map to functional elements • Almost all of the human genome is transcribed • histone modifications can be mapped to temporal patterns of DNA replication Figure 2.5 Phylogenetic tree of species treated in the ENCODE project

  11. Organize: Part = Sequence g c t g – a a – c g | | | | |- c t a t a a t c - • Homologue – common ancestor • Orthologue • Similar function different species • Paralogue • Different function in the same species • Pair-wise Alignment • Similarity of sequence • Sequences with 25% identity are homologus

  12. Protein Evolution “For many protein sequences, evolutionary history can be traced back 1-2 billion years” -William Pearson • When we align sequences, we assume that they share a common ancestor • They are then homologous • Protein folds are much more conserved than protein sequence • DNA sequences tend to be less informative than protein sequences

  13. Use Protein Sequences for Similarity Searches 1) 4 DNA bases vs. 20 amino acids - less chance similarity 2) Similarity of AAs can be scored - # of mutations, chemical similarity, PAM matrix 3) Protein databanks are much smaller than DNA databanks less random matches. 4) Similarity is determined by pair-wise alignment of different sequences Core

  14. Pair-wise Alignment • The alignment of two sequences (DNA or protein) is a relatively straightforward computational problem. • There are lots of possible alignments. • Two sequences can always be aligned. • Sequence alignments have to be scored. • Often there is more than one solution with the same score.

  15. Methods of Alignment • By hand - slide sequences on two lines of a word processor • Dot plot • with windows • Heuristic methods (fast, approximate) • BLAST and FASTA • Word matching and hash tables • Dynamic programming • Needleman-Wunsch(slow, optimal) Core

  32. DotLet Core http://myhits.isb-sib.ch/cgi-bin/dotlet • Each pixel represents a residue match • The pixel’s intensity depends on the similarity of the match • Black is a low score, white is a high score • Use the Histogram window to tune the gray scale to make the background noise disappear and the similar region stand out. • Move the bottom slide (low score threshold) past the blue peak. • Move the high score threshold past the purple peak. Move copy slit_drome.fasta from our class web site data to the desktop then copy into DotLet 1.5 under links

When you need to grab a sequence open the files by right clicking on then and selecting edit with VIM. Load all of these into Dotlet1.5.

  36. Introns and Exons Calmodulin gene against the calmodulin protein in Emericella nidulans Choose a stringent Matrix because you expect an exact match and a small window to find a sharp exon-intron boundary.

  41. Main Algorithms for SequenceSearching Core • FastA– Better for nucleotides than for proteins • BLAST - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool– Better for proteins than for nucleotides • Needleman-Wunsch or Smith-Waterman– More sensitive than FastA or BLAST. Sensitivity: the ability to detect "true positive" matches. The most sensitive search finds all true matches, but might have lots of false positives Specificity: the ability to reject "false positive" matches. The most specific search will return only true matches, but might have lots of false negatives Ideally we would like our searches to be Sensitive and Specific

  45. FastA http://fasta.bioch.virginia.edu/ • A set of programs for fast local sequence alignment maintained by William Pearson at the University of Virginia • Searches for short sequences called “ktups” that have previously been found and located in the data base. • The program builds local alignments based on these ktups matches

  46. FastA: Ktups Regions FastA locates regions of the query sequence and the search set sequence that have high densities of exact word matches. The ten regions with the highest density of matches are rescored using a scoring matrix.

  47. FastA: Gapped Alignment • The high scoring ktup regions are joined together to form an approximate alignment with gaps. • Only non-overlapping regions may be joined. • The score for the joined regions is the sum of the scores of the initial regions minus a joining penalty for each gap. • The highest scoring gapped alignment is optimized using a variation of the Smith-Waterman algorithm.
