  4. Bioinformatik? • Bioinformatik - det forskingsområde som behandlar och analyserar “bioinformation” • Bioinformation - den information som finns lagrad i: • genom-data (gener, genuttryck, genfunktion, etc i relation till den organism som härbärgerar genomet i fråga) • biologiska sekvenser och, • relationer mellan biologiska sekvenser, med avseende på biologiska organismers funktion (metabolism, hälsa, etc) • Bioinformatik skall ge idéer och förslag till nya våta experiment • Forskare med bioinformatik som experimentellt verktyg (in silico biologi)

  5. Animal models

  6. Why animal models? • Genetically homogeneous • Controlled environmental influence • Large family sizes give optimal statistical power • Tools to define and characterise disease causative genes and mechanisms • In vivo validation and in vivo pharmacology • Increase productivity • Higher resolution

  24. Database resources European Bioinformatics Institute National Center for Biotechnology Information DNA Databank of Japan NCBI EBI DDBJ Pfam Blocks ProSite Swissprot MGI EMBL PubMed PIR MIPS DNA AceDB protein GenBank GDB motifs families genomes bibliography

  25. genomic sequence • Directed / small-scale • Large-scale : BAC, YACs cDNA sequence • Directed / small-scale • Random / large-scale • Expressed Sequence Tag [EST] protein sequence • Directed, very little Where do sequences come from? DNA mRNA protein

  26. EMBL GenBank DDBJ Sequence databasesNucleotide databases International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration

  27. Seq 1 ACGTTT Seq 3 TTCTGA Seq 2 CTAGAC Sequence databasesPrimary vs secondary databases • Primary database = sequence database • eg EMBL, GenBank, SWISSPROT • Each record describes individual sequence • Can be contain either nucleotide or protein sequences

  28. Pattern 1 accagtgtacgactct Pattern 3 ttcgatgtcattcgatcgcatccgatcgtc Pattern 2 tacgtagctacctacctaggtagc Sequence databasesPrimary vs secondary databases • Secondary database = pattern database • eg PROSITE, PRINTS, BLOCKS, Pfam • Each record describes a set of sequences • Set can be expressed as a motif, multiple sequence alignment or probabilistic model

  29. Sequence databasesNucleotide databases • How do the databases compare? • Three databases are 99.99% identical • Annotations can be slightly different • How often are they updated? • New release of databases every 3 months • Interim releases - EMBL-new • Can the annotations be trusted? • Not always - some estimates suggest 25% are incorrect

  30. EST vrt mam Non-EST hum rod Sequence databasesNucleotide databases • EMBL is subdivided into EST and non-EST sequences

  31. GenBank EMBL GenPept TrEMBL PIR SWISSPROT Sequence databasesProtein databases

  32. EMBL • Coding sequences automatically translated TrEMBL • 558,150 entries REM SP • Sequences manually moved to SWISSPROT • 106,602 entries SWISSPROT • Because it is manually curated, annotations are reliable! Sequence databasesProtein databases • 13,700,000 entries • TrEMBL split into: • SP-TrEMBL - Sequences destined for SWISSPROT • REM-TrEMBL - Remaining sequences

  33. Sequence databasesSummary • EMBL is main nucleotide sequence database (Europe) • TrEMBL is an automated translation of EMBL • SWISSPROT is main curated protein database • Between main releases, interim releases are made • eg EMBL-new, TrEMBL-new, SWISSPROT-new • EMBL is subdivided into EST / non-EST then by species • Annotations can be trusted in SWISSPROT, not in EMBL • Accession numbers uniquely identify a sequence and remain constant when entries are updated

  34. Basics of sequence searchingMethods Method Accuracy Duration Example Rigorous +++++ +++++ Smith-Waterman Heuristic ++ + BLAST, FASTA Probabilistic ++++ +++ HMM • Probabilistic methods are best, but can be slow and difficult to use • Rigorous are good when used on a small subset of sequences, but too slow to search large sequence database • Heuristic methods are the best place to start

  35. Basics of sequence searchingTerminology • Sensitivity vs Selectivity • Sensitivity searching will find weaker hits • Selectivity searching less likely to find unrelated hits • Increased sensitivity means more true positives • Increased selectivity means fewer false positives

  36. Query sequence Find identical stretches of nucleotides in two sequences Sequence in database HSP Extend regions of similarity as far as possible HSP1 HSP 2 Identify all regions of similarity Searching with BLASTHow it works

  37. Local vs global comparisonsThe nature of proteins • Proteins consist of functional and structural units - domains

  38. Global comparison attempts to match all of one sequence against another Local comparison attempts to match short stretches of one sequence with another Local vs global comparisonsWhat is a local and global comparison?

  39. Local vs global comparisonsWhen should each technique be used? • Global comparisons • Closely related sequences • Same general structure of sequence • Roughly equal lengths • Local comparisons • Sequences not closely related • Sequence fragments • Interested in identifying common domains
