One application of the SSAHA algorithm and tool is to find SNPs: single nucleotide polymorphisms. In this problem you'll return the location of the first SNP in two strands of the same length, or zero if the strands are the same and don't contain a SNP. The first base-pair in a strand has index 1 in this problem, not index zero. As in the real SSAHA code, any character other than 'g', 't', 'c', or 'a' should be treated as an 'a' for the purposes of matching nucleotides. Definition Class: DNACompare Method: snpFind Parameter: String dna1, String dna2 Returns: int Method signature: int snpFind (String dna, String n); (be sure your method is public) Class public class DNAComparison { public int snpDetector (String dna, String n) { // fill in code here } } Constraints dna1 and dna2 will have a maximum of fifty characters and the same character length. The characters of DNA will be ‘a’, ‘g’, ‘t’, ‘x’ or ‘c’. The character ‘x’ should be treated as an ‘a’. Examples 1. dna1= aaggttcc dna2= aagtttcc Returns: “4” because the first place the strands disagree is the g and t. 2. dna1 = aaaaaaaaaaaa dna2 = aaaaaaaaxaaa Returns: “0” because the program will treat the ‘x’ as an ‘a’. SSAHA stands for Sequence Search and Alignment by Hashing Algorithm, a method of quickly and easily searching the large amounts of data in DNA databases. Created in 2001, SSAHA offers an improved sequence alignment tool to BLAST improves BLAST as a faster tool for sequence alignment. SSAHA uses a hash table to store the locations of strings nucleotides in many different “bins”. Each nucleotide is coded for using a binary system; thus when trying to match a string of nucleotides from a different genome or within the same genome (as in genome shotgun technique), the program only has to look through bins until it finds the proper nucleotide sequence instead of searching through the entire genome. SSAHA compromises memory for speed, but this speed means that SSAHA can handle high throughput such as entire genomes. • SSAHA has been used to… • Refine repetitive sequence searches (Reneker, 2005) • Locate large amounts of genetic variation within the zebrafish species (Guryev, 2006) • Localizing large data sets (Harper, 2006) • Aligning DNA strands (Ning, 2004) Literature Cited Guryev, Koudijs, Berezikov, Johnson, Plasterk, van Eeden, Cuppen. “Genetic Variation on Zebrafish.” Genome Research, March 13, 2006.
