2 Why sequence alignments? Prediction of function Protein family analysis omparative genomics Phylogeny / Evolutionary history enome sequencing: ssembly lignment to reference genome Prediction of function Sequence to be investigated Seq. with known function We have a new sequence. It is similar to a previously known sequence? We can test by alignment whether it is similar to a sequence with known function. If it is we can assign a possible function to our new sequence Database of sequences Protein family analysis omparative genomics - reveals biologically significant regions of the genome 2

5 BLS Searching databases for sequence similarity - traditional alignment method too slow BLS - Basic Local lignment Search ool FS, 1988 William Pearson BLS, 1990 query sequence (DN or protein) is tested against all sequences in a database (DN or protein), i.e the query is aligned to all the database sequences. Final output is a list of the best matching database sequences. David Lipman Stephen ltschul Searching databases for sequence similarity - shortcuts of BLS Improvement of speed as compared to local alignment algorithm: Initial search is for word hits.

Essentially, the E value describes the random background noise that exists for matches between sequences. For example, an E value of 1 assigned to a hit can be interpreted as meaning that in a database of the current size one might expect to see 1 match with a similar score simply by chance. his means that the lower the E-value, or the closer it is to "0" the more "significant" the match is.
