Pfam-Statistics 11,912 families, with 1,808 new families and 236 families deleted Updated to include metagenomic samples Involves MSA and HMM Only 63%of the Pfam families match the proteins in SWISSPROT and TrEMBL
Integrating the results 3 possible outcomes: Complete consensus Partial consensus No consensus How do we choose? Scores like E-values Percentage similarity Relevance
Homology Search is not Enough! Biased and incomplete Database Sequenced genomes are not evenly distributed on the tree of life, and does not reflect the diversity accordingly either. Number of sequenced genomes clustered here
Usually Used Tools GeneMark GLIMMER EasyGene PRODIGAL
GeneMark • Developed in 1993 at Georgia Institute of Technology as the first gene finding tool. • Used markov chain to represent the statistics of coding and noncoding reading frames using dicodon statistics. Shortcomings Inability to find exact gene boundaries
GeneMark.hmm • 9 hidden states were defined • Typical gene in the direct strand • Typical gene in the reverse strand • Atypical gene in the direct strand • Atypical gene in the reverse strand • Non-coding (intergenic) region • Start codons in the direct strand • Stop codons in the direct strand • Start codons in the reverse strand • Stop codons in the reverse strand • Probability of any sequence S underlying functional sequence X is calculated as P(X|S)=P(x1,x2,…………,xL| b1,b2,…………,bL) • Viterbi algorithm then calculates the functional sequence X* such that P(X*|S) is the largest among all possible values of X. • Ribosome binding site model was also added to augment accuracy in the prediction of translational start sites.
GeneMark • RBS feature overcomes this problem by defining a % position nucleotide matrix based on alignment of 325 E coli genes whose RBS signals have already been annotated. • Uses a consensus sequence AGGAG to search upstream of any alternative start codons for genes predicted by HMM. GENEMARKS • Considered the best gene prediction tool. • Based on unsupervised learning. Even in prokaryotic genomes gene overlaps are quite common GeneMarkS
GLIMMER Maintained by Steven Salzberg, Art Delcher at the University of Maryland , College Park • Used IMM (Interpolated Markov Models) for the first time. • Predictions based on variable context (oligomers of variable lengths). • More flexible than the fixed order Markov models. Principle IMM combines probability based on 0,1……..k previous bases, in this case k=8 is used. But this is for oligomers that occur frequently. However, for rarely occurring oligomers, 5th order or lower may also be used.
Glimmer development Glimmer 2 (1999) • Increased the sensitivity of prediction by adding concept of ICM (Interpolated Context Model) Glimmer 3 (2007) • Overcomes the shortcomings of previous models by taking in account sum of RBS score, IMM coding potentials and a score for start codons which is dependent on relative frequency of each possible start codon in the same training set used for RBS determination. • Algorithm used reverse scoring of IMM by scoring all ORF (open reading frames) in reverse, from the stop codon to start codon. • Score being the sum of log likelihood of the bases contained in the ORF.
