Outline • Algorithm complexity • Complexity of dynamic programming alignment algorithms • Memory efficient algorithms • Hirschberg’s Divide and Conquer algorithm • Affine gap penalty Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Algorithm Complexity • Indicates the space and time (computational)efficiency of a program • Space complexity refers to how much memory is required to execute the algorithm • Time complexity refers to how long it will take to execute (compute) the algorithm • Generally written in Big-O notation • O represents the complexity (order) • n represents the size of the data set • Examples • O(n) – “order n”, linear complexity • O(n2) – “order n squared”, quadratic complexity • Constants and lower orders ignored • O(2n) = O(n) and O(n2 + n + 1) = O(n2) Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Complexity of Dynamic Programming Algorithms for Global/Local Alignment • Time complexity – O(m*n) • For each cell in the score matrix, perform 3 operations • Compute Up, Left, and Diagonal scores • O(3*m*n) = O(m*n) • Space complexity – O(m*n) • Size of scoring matrix = m*n • Size of trace back matrix = m*n • O(2*m*n) = O(m*n) • Where, m and n are the lengths of the sequences being aligned. • Since m n, O(n2 ) – quadratic complexity! Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Memory Requirements • For a sequence of 200-500 amino acids or nucleotides • O(n2) = 5002 = 250,000 • If store each score as a 32-bit value = 4 bytes, it requires 1,000,000 bytes to represent the scoring matrix! • If store each trace back symbol as a character (8-bit value), it requires 250,000 bytes to represent the trace back matrix Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Simple Improvement for Scoring Matrix • In reality, the space complexity of the scoring matrix is only linear, i.e., O(2*min(m,n)) = O(min(m,n)) • O(min(m,n)) O(n) for sequences of comparable lengths • 2,000 bytes (instead of 1 million) • But, trace back still quadratic space complexity Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Source m/2 m m/2 m (0,0) (0,0) middle i n n (n,m) (n,m) Sink m/2 m m (0,0) (0,0) middle middle middle n (n,m) n (n,m) m m (0,0) (0,0) n (n,m) n (n,m) Hirschberg’s “Divide and Conquer” Space Efficient Algorithm • Compute the score matrix(s) between the source (0,0) and (n, m/2). Save m/2 column of s. Compute the reverse score matrix (sreverse) between the sink (n, m) and (0,m/2). Save the m/2 column of sreverse. • Find middle (i, m/2) satisfies max 0 in {s(i, m/2) + sreverse(n-i, m/2)} • Recursively partition problem into 2 subproblems Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Pseudo Code of Space-Efficient Alignment Algorithm Path (source, sink) If source and sink are in consecutive columns output the longest path from the source to the sink Else middle middle vertex between source and sink Path (source, middle) Path (middle, sink) Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Complexity of Space-Efficient Alignment Algorithm • Time complexity • Equal to the sum of the areas of the rectangles Area + ½ Area + ¼ Area + … 2*Area where, Area = n*m • O(2n*m) = O(n*m) • Quadratic time/computation complexity (same as before) • Space complexity • Need to save a column of s and sreverse for each computation (but can discard after computing middle) • O(min(n,m)) – if m < n, switch the sequences (or save a row of s and sreverse instead) • Linear space complexity!! • Reference:http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~lloyd/tildeAlgDS/Dynamic/Hirsch/ Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
Gap Penalties • Gap penalties account for the introduction of a gap - on the evolutionary model, an insertion or deletion mutation - in both nucleotide and protein sequences, and therefore the penalty values should be proportional to the expected rate of such mutations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_alignment#Assessment_of_significance Space Efficient Alignment Algorithms
