  3. HMMs • In order to approach sequential data without failing to exploit any correlation between observations close to each other, we need a probabilistic model that calculates the joint distributions for the sequence of observations. • A simple way to do this is by assuming a Markovian chain model. The probability of going form one state to another is called transition probability. • In Hidden Markov Models(HMM), assuming a sequence of symbols (X), e.g. nucleotides in a DNA sequence or amino-acids in the case of protein sequences, the emission probabilities are defined as the probability of having symbol b when in state k.

  4. EXAMPLE

  5. PROFILE hmm • The M-states produce one of 20 amino-acid letters, according to P(x|mi). • For each state, there is a delete state(di), where no amino-acid is produced. • There is a total of M+1 insert states to either side of match states according to P(x|di).

  6. Pfam database • Pfam is a collection of multiple sequence alignments and profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). Each Pfam HMM represents a protein family or domain. • For each Pfam entry there is a family page which can be accessed in several ways. • Pfam contains two types of families, Pfam-A and Pfam-B. Pfam-A families are manually curated HMM based families which we build using an alignment of a small number of representative sequences.

  7. Pfam Database • For each family we build two HMMs, one to represent fragment matches and one to represent full length matches. We use the HMMER2 software to build and search our profile HMMs. • Available links: http://pfam.sanger.ac.uk/ http://hmmer.janelia.org/

  8. Pfam Database Each family has the following data: • A seed alignment which is a hand edited multiple alignment representing the family. • Hidden Markov Models (HMM) derived from the seed alignment, which can be used to find new members of the domain and also take a set of sequences to realign them to the model. One HMM is in ls mode (global) the other is an fs mode (local) model. • A full alignment which is an automatic alignment of all the examples of the domain using the two HMMs to find and then align the sequences. • Annotation that contains a brief description of the domain, links to other databases and some Pfam specific data.

  9. Bioinformatics toolkit • v. 3.1 for MATLAB (2008a) • Uses the profile HMMs found in PFAM. • The search is usually done by accession number or name of the family. • Multiple sequence profiles — MATLAB implementations for multiple alignment and profile hidden Markov model. • algorithms (gethmmprof, gethmmalignment, gethmmtree, pfamhmmread, hmmprofalign, hmmprofestimate, hmmprofgenerate, hmmprofmerge, hmmprofstruct, showhmmprof).

Symbol emission probabilities in the MATCH and INSERT states for the NULL model.

  12. showhmmprof - plot hidden markov model (hmm) profile >>model = pfamhmmread('pf00002.ls'); showhmmprof(model, 'Scale', 'logodds'); hydrophobic = 'IVLFCMAGTSWYPHNDQEKR'; showhmmprof(model, 'Order', hydrophobic); • 'logprob' — Logprobabilities • 'prob' — Probabilities • 'logodds' — Log-oddratios

  13. gethmmtree – retrieve phylogenetic tree data ChoicesforTypeValueare: • 'seed' — Returns a tree with only the alignments used to generate the HMM model. • 'full' (default) — Returns a tree with all of the alignments that match the model. >>tree = gethmmtree(2, 'type', 'seed'); And >>tr = phytreeread('pf00002.tree');

  14. gethmmalignment/ hmmprofalign • Gethmmalignment: retrieve multiple sequence alignment associated with hmm profile from Pfam database • Hmmprofalign: Align query sequence to profile using hidden Markov model alignment >>load('hmm_model_examples','model_7tm_2'); exampleload('hmm_model_examples','sequences'); exampleSCCR_RABIT=sequences(2).Sequence; [a,s]=hmmprofalign(model_7tm_2,SCCR_RABIT,'showscore',true);
