- The document discusses alignment scoring functions used to score alignments of protein sequences.
- A simple scoring function gives a score of +1 for matches and -1 for mismatches. This can be represented as a substitution matrix.
- More complex scoring functions like BLOSUM45 take into account that certain amino acid substitutions are more likely than others based on evolution.
- The choice of scoring function determines which alignments are considered "best" or highest scoring.
The Needleman-Wunsch algorithm finds the optimal global alignment of two nucleotide or protein sequences. It works by filling a matrix using a recursive formula that considers the best score from adjacent cells, incorporating substitution scores and gap penalties. This algorithm runs in quadratic time compared to assessing all possible alignments individually, which runs in exponential time. For two sequences of length n, the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm is much faster, taking n^2 time instead of the 2^n time needed to assess all alignments individually.
Statistical significance of alignmentsavrilcoghlan
1) The document discusses how to determine the statistical significance of sequence alignments to assess whether two sequences are likely homologous.
2) It describes generating random sequences based on the amino acid composition of one sequence, aligning these to the other sequence, and comparing alignment scores to determine a p-value.
3) For example, an alignment of human PTCH2 and C. elegans TRA2 had a score of 136, with only 0.36% of random alignments scoring as high, giving a p-value of 0.0036 and suggesting they are probably homologous.
Scoring system is a set of values for qualifying the set of one residue being substituted by another in an alignment.
It is also known as substitution matrix.
Scoring matrix of nucleotide is relatively simple.
A positive value or a high score is given for a match & negative value or a low score is given for a mismatch.
Scoring matrices for amino acids are more complicated because scoring has to reflect the physicochemical properties of amino acid residues.
This document discusses identifying mutations in the filaggrin gene through sequence analysis. The filaggrin gene codes for filaggrin proteins that are essential for skin barrier function. Mutations in this gene are linked to conditions like eczema and asthma. The study aims to detect faulty filaggrin genes, identify other human and non-human proteins with similar function to filaggrin, and find identical protein sequences to help develop therapeutic options. Sequence alignment methods like pairwise alignment and BLAST will be used to analyze filaggrin genes and identify similar protein sequences.
An experiment was conducted to test factors that affect the flight time of paper planes. The factors tested were design of the plane, type of paper, use of tape, wing angle, and use of a clip. The experiment found that the most significant single factors were the design of the plane and type of paper, and the most significant interactions were between the design and use of a clip, and between the type of paper and use of tape. The combination found to produce the longest flight time was a plane with no tip, a clip, tape, and made of print paper.

It also contains a multicast routing problem that involves building a minimum cost tree and calculating its cost.
DESeq models read counts with a negative binomial distribution to account for biological variability between samples, which a Poisson distribution underestimates. It estimates variance for each gene based on a local regression of variance against mean expression of other genes. This allows it to better control false positives compared to EdgeR or a Poisson model. DESeq also estimates sequencing depth differently than EdgeR to improve differential expression testing across the dynamic range of expression levels.
The document provides an overview of DNA and genomes. It discusses the key discoveries in DNA structure including the double helix model proposed by Watson and Crick. It describes the components of DNA, including nucleotides, bases, sugars, and phosphates. It explains how the bases pair with each other and the structure of the DNA double helix. It also summarizes genome sizes from viruses to humans and differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.
Homologous genes are genes that have descended from a common ancestral gene. There are two main types of homologous genes:
1. Orthologous genes are homologous genes in different species that arose due to speciation. For example, the human and mouse eyeless genes are orthologs that descended from the eyeless gene in their last common ancestor.
2. Paralogous genes are homologous genes within the same species that arose due to a gene duplication event. For example, the fruit fly eyeless and twin of eyeless genes are paralogs that descended from a duplication of the eyeless gene in a fruit fly ancestor.
Homologous genes can differ in their sequences due
Dr Avril Coghlan discusses the BLAST algorithm for comparing biological sequences and searching databases of DNA and protein sequences. BLAST is a fast heuristic method for sequence alignment and database searching. It works by first finding short words that are common between the query sequence and database sequences, and then extending the alignment around these words. BLAST is able to quickly search very large databases and find significant matches by calculating E-values, which estimate the statistical significance of matches. BLAST allows researchers to determine if a new sequence is similar to any known sequences and predict potential functions.
This document discusses multiple sequence alignment and compares it to pairwise sequence alignment. It introduces the concept of multiple alignment and describes how algorithms like CLUSTAL extend pairwise alignment approaches to align three or more sequences simultaneously. CLUSTAL is highlighted as a popular heuristic algorithm that uses progressive alignment to build a multiple sequence alignment in an efficient manner.
The Smith-Waterman algorithm finds the best local alignment between two sequences. It involves filling a matrix using a recurrence relation to score matches, mismatches, and gaps. The highest scoring cell represents the best local alignment, which can be traced back through the matrix. For example, the best local alignment between sequences "TCAGTTGCC" and "AGGTTG" is "GTTG" with a score of 4.
1) Pairwise sequence alignment is a method to compare two biological sequences like DNA, RNA, or proteins. It involves arranging the sequences in columns to highlight their similarities and differences.
2) There are many possible alignments between two sequences, but most imply too many mutations. The best alignment minimizes the number of mutations needed to explain the differences between the sequences.
3) For short protein sequences like "QKGSYPVRSTC" and "QKGSGPVRSTC", the optimal alignment implies one single mutation occurred since the sequences diverged from a common ancestor.
Dot plots are a graphical method for assessing similarity between two sequences. A dot plot is created by making a matrix of one sequence against the other and coloring in cells with identical letters. Regions of local similarity appear as diagonal lines of colored dots. The document discusses how to create dot plots between DNA and protein sequences and explains how using a sliding window threshold can filter out random matches. Pros and cons of dot plots are provided along with examples of software that can be used to generate dot plots.
Introduction to HMMs in Bioinformaticsavrilcoghlan
This document provides an introduction to Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for modeling DNA sequence evolution. It explains that HMMs are an advancement over simpler Markov and multinomial models because they allow the probability of a base to depend on the hidden state (e.g. GC-rich vs. AT-rich region) of the previous position, rather than just the previous base. The key components of an HMM - the transition matrix describing the probabilities of changing between states, and the emission matrix describing the probabilities of bases for each state - are also introduced.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

• Find the best alignment between “WHAT” & “WHY”
using the BLOSUM45 scoring function & -2 for a gap
5. Answer
• Find the best alignment between “WHAT” & “WHY”
using the BLOSUM45 scoring function & -2 for a gap
• Matrix T looks like this, giving 1 traceback:
W H A T W H A T
0 -2 -4 -6 -8 0 -2 -4 -6 -8
W -2 15 13 11 9 W -2 15 13 11 9
H -4 13 25 23 21 H -4 13 25 23 21
Y -6 11 23 23 22 Y -6 11 23 23 22
• The traceback gives the following best alignment:
W H A T
| |
W H - Y
(Pink traceback)
6. • Using +1 for a match, -1 for mismatch, & -2 for an
insertion/deletion, the best alignment is:
W H A T W H A T (Two equally highest-
| | | |
W H - Y W H Y - scoring solutions)
• Using BLOSUM45, and -2 for an insertion/deletion,
the best alignment is:
W H A T
| |
(The highest-
W H - Y scoring solution)
• Should we use the simpler scoring scheme (match:
+1,mismatch:-1) or BLOSUM45?
BLOSUM45, because it takes into account that certain amino acids are
more likely to substitute for each other during evolution than others
7. • Non-synonymous mutations change the amino acid
sequence
eg. codon TTT encodes Phe (F), & TTA encodes Leu (L), so a
TTT→TTA mutation causes a F→L mutation (substitution)
• Certain amino acids are more likely to substitute for
each other than others
Because only organisms that carry mutations to similar amino acids
tend to survive & reproduce
Because a mutation to a dissimilar amino acid (eg. A→Y) is more
likely to disrupt a protein’s function (& so kill the organism) than
a mutation to a similar amino acid (eg. A→V)
